While the lengthening days and warmer temperatures of March can make winter fell like it has gone away, the cold and snow of winter is still common in March. The featured chart presents the partitioning of yearly snowfall between dates prior to 1 March and those afterward. The 1to1 line shows that getter more snow after 1 March than before is rather uncommon, so our total so far of around 30 inches has little chance of being doubled this spring. Getting another 3-12 inches is common and the forecast this week looks to work on those totals with heavy snow possible in Iowa on Tuesday.
