Before and after Christmas

Posted: 20 Dec 2011 05:56 AM

The featured chart presents a comparison between the accumulated snowfall prior to and after Christmas. Only a handful of winters have seen less snowfall after Christmas than before. The chart also shows that not having much snow prior to 25 December does not limit the amount of snow after with some of the largest totals coming after just a few inches in the first period. Currently, a large winter storm is just to our southwest, but struggling to bring snow into Iowa. The chances for a white Christmas continue to look rather dim.
