Last inch of snow
Posted: 01 May 2013 05:40 AM
Our brief taste of summer is over and cold air is invading the state
this morning. Snow is already falling over Sioux Falls and will likely
accumulate over portions of Iowa during the next two days. It remains
to be seen how far south the snow will get, but suffice it to say that
accumulating May snowfalls are rare in Iowa. The featured top chart
presents the last date in the springtime each year on which at least
one inch of snowfall was reported. The bottom chart shows the maximum
temperature reported between 1 January and the date of the last
snowfall. Des Moines hit 86 yesterday, so if it does snow this would
be the second warmest temperature on record prior to the last snow.
