Thirteen inches in Osage. Snow at Tulip Time for the first time in 78 years. Adventureland had to close. Snowblowers in Forest City. Record low highs in Waterloo and Des Moines. Thursday was the most snow ever received in Des Moines in one day or one month for May — until the overnight total is finalized. The Iowa DOT, like me, considers April 15 to be the end of winter and had to bring back the road conditions page.
