The snow storms this week were handled by Winter Weather Advisory headlines by the National Weather Service. Their most severe headline for the winter season is the Blizzard Warning, but not every year sees such an intense situation. The featured map presents the number of days since the last Blizzard Warning per NWS Weather Forecast Office (WFO). Immediately and interestingly, you can see Hawaii at 348 days whereas most of the Iowa WFOs had 650 days and longer. The data is correct as there is some very high elevation land in Hawaii that sees intense winter storms. As an aside, the NWS recent announced that Hawaii would stop issuing Blizzard Warnings going forward as no humans live within the impacted areas.
