A heavy wet snow fell quickly Tuesday afternoon over Eastern Iowa and is expected to blanket the area with a mix of snow and ice and disrupt travel through Wednesday morning, the National Weather Service reported.

Once the snow started falling, the Iowa Department of Transportation reported travel conditions changed abruptly. Snow completely covered over half the roadways across the state, mainly in the Corridor and in southeastern Iowa.
