With folks in Ames and Des Moines anxiously waiting for our first snowfall of the season, one may wonder how long our new snowfall will stick around? The featured chart presents the date and amount of the first snowfall for Ames of the winter season. The dot's color represent how long measurable snow depth was observed after the initial snow fall. Last year, our first snow fall (around this date) stuck around until mid March! Most of the dots are in the 1-7 day range, so perhaps our first taste of snow will be brief like most years!
