Heavy snow and strong winds from a storm blowing across the West are expected to move into Iowa, but likely not until after voters gather for the state's leadoff presidential caucuses.
Possible blizzard conditions could complicate candidates' plans to leave Tuesday.
Meanwhile, the system was bringing steady snow to the Denver area on Monday, and forecasters warned that the evening commute could be difficult. Up to about a foot of snow could fall along Colorado's heavily populated Front Range region by the time the storm moves out Tuesday.
The system also is bringing snow to parts of Wyoming, Arizona and New Mexico.
It dumped about a foot of snow in southern Utah and on the ski resorts in the mountains east of Salt Lake City.
