Much of Iowa looks to be in line to experience a white Thanksgiving (having snow cover). The featured chart presents the observed frequencies of white Thanksgiving, Christmas, and years with both days having snow cover based on long term data for Des Moines. Please note that the Thanksgiving total is for the fourth Thursday of November for each year since 1893, but the actual thanksgiving was on a different date some years prior to 1941. Having snow cover on Thanksgiving does slightly elevate your chances for snow cover on Christmas, but its not an absolute.
