'12-'13 Winter Storm #6

Posted: 31 Jan 2013 08:33 AM

The warmer weather earlier this week is now a distant memory and much of the state is now covered with fresh snowfall. The featured analysis of snowfall reports from the event show the highest totals near Waterloo around 8-10 inches. Northwest Iowa completely missed out and totals were much smaller over Southeastern Iowa. While every little bit of snow certainly does not hurt the drought situation, they are not sufficient to make significant impacts to soil moisture recharge. It would probably be better to thaw the soil and get many rainfall events during the early spring. Beggars can not be choosers at this point!
