Fairly common in the LA area, although I've seen it in many other areas. Typically, a temperature inversion traps a bubble of air near the ground and it loads up with pollution.

Winter Storm Watch for Polk County

Winter storm watch in effect from Monday morning through late monday night,
The NWS in des moines has issued a winter storm watch, which is in effect from Monday morning through late monday night.
A significant winter storm will be impacting central Iowa Monday and Monday night. Though rain or a rain snow mixture is expected for the first several hours of the storm, the rain will change over to snow from northwest to east during the day with the potential for a 6 to 8 inch band of snow either side of a line extending from near audubon to ames to near waterloo. Within this corridor isolated higher totals are possible. The snow will begin in western Iowa by sunrise with the rain snow changeover reaching central Iowa by the noon hour and over the remainder of the region by late afternoon. Snowfall rates may approach two inches of snowfall per hour during the height of the storm from late morning through mid afternoon. This will cause road conditions to deteriorate rapidly during the afternoon hours.
As the storm continues moving east during the evening hours northwest winds of 20 to 30 mph are likely to cause blowing and drifting snow Monday evening. The gusty winds are expected to continue into Tuesday with drifting snow still impacting the area through Tuesday afternoon.
A winter storm watch means there is a potential for significant snow, sleet, or ice accumulations that may impact travel. Continue to monitor the latest forecasts.
