While places like Ames have seen flurries this season, any snow of consequence has been elusive. The featured chart displays the date of the first winter season one plus inch snowfall, the amount of that snowfall and the number of days until no snow cover was reported. By mid-December, about 75% of years have seen an inch plus of snowfall by now. So our current snowfall drought this season is not too exceptional.
