Recent Snow Mostly Gone

Posted: 21 Feb 2023 05:30 AM

The big snowfall of last week didn't last very long thanks to increasingly effective sunshine and warm temperatures. The featured chart presents a heatmap of daily snow depth reports for Des Moines for each winter since 2000. The year's are labelled by the year of the associated fall/winter season, so this year's values are found labelled 2022. The most recent white boxes for 2022 show the snow be reported as gone for Des Moines. It is fun to compare the various years as the depth and duration of the snow cover vary wildly by year. The winter's of 2000-2001 and 2009-2010 are remarkable compared with other winters like 2016-2017.

Good = 10
