Thu Mar 20 09:20:00 UTC 2025: ## Iowa Schools Delay, Cancel Classes After Heavy Blizzard
**[City, State] –** A blizzard slamming western Iowa Wednesday left behind up to a foot of snow in some areas, forcing numerous school districts to announce delays and cancellations for Thursday. At least ten districts, including AGWSR, CAL, East Sac, Fort Dodge, Glidden-Ralston, Humboldt, Manson-Northwest Webster, Pocahontas, South Central Calhoun, and Southeast Valley, have implemented two-hour delays. Iowa Central Community College will open two hours late, at 10 a.m., while DMACC’s Boone campus will remain closed entirely. Eagle Grove schools will transition to virtual learning for the day. A full list of closures and delays is available online. Residents are encouraged to monitor weather conditions via the local news station’s skycam network, which offers live aerial views from across the state. The storm also proved hazardous for road crews, with three Iowa DOT plows reportedly struck during the blizzard.
