Updates on Winter Storm Draco: How Much Snow Did Draco Dump on Johnston?

Updated 12:58 p.m.

While the city of Johnston's snow ordinance is still in effect, abandoned cars are hampering plowing.

Crews have been working in Johnston since about 3 a.m., public works director Dave Cubit told The Des Moines Register.

Cubit said some areas of the city have not been plowed because drivers getting stuck in the snow have left their cars.

Crews can not plow those areas until cars are removed.
