Monday was a particularly bad one for Iowa’s highways. State Troopers reportedly responded to 185 accidents across the state where snow and ice have made many highways hard to navigate. One crash on Interstate 35 involved close to 70 cars, making it the “worst” authorities in the area say they’ve ever seen.

More snow is expected to fall in the state Tuesday
