Today starts the meteorological winter season and one wonders if it will be as wet as recent winters. The featured chart presents the range of reported winter season precipitation for Iowa (bars) along with the totals for Ames and the mean state wide value. Of course, when these precipitation amounts fall in the form of snow or ice, it makes for a much more difficult winter. The chart interestingly shows that most of the time (~ 70%), the precipitation total in Ames is lower than the state wide average. This is probably due to having more rainfall events clip southeast Iowa.
