After such nice weather on Sunday, it is somewhat a downer to start thinking about when the first snowfall will arrive this fall. The featured chart displays some metrics regarding the first one plus inch snowfall for Des Moines. The chart displays the accumulated frequency, the amount of the first inch plus snowfall and how long the snow stuck around. The first snowfall has a difficult time sticking around as soil temperatures are still well above freezing. Very late October starts the snow season, but the near term forecast does not have any snow chances.
