Jayson,
I agree with you on the snow/frz rain to rain transition in Central Iowa. I also looked at Davenport's reasoning and they are also thinking of a wintery mix to rain scenario with mainly snow in the northern counties of Iowa. Regardless, I think its fairly certain the rain snow line will set up somewhere from central Nebraska through Central Iowa - with a plethora of winter weather along the transition zones. The question will be how long the shallow cold air will hang on to keep rain freezing or just plain rain in those zones.
