We have just one day left in February and can close the book on the winter season comprising December through February! It has been an active winter season and the precipitation totals are rather impressive. The featured map presents unofficial IEM estimated climate district precipitation ranks for this winter season vs each previous one since 1893. A plotted value of 1 would indicate that this winter was the wettest on record! There's a lot of ones to be found on the map and even the northwestern district in Iowa. Other climate districts in Iowa are not far behind. It will be interesting to see how the official data from NCEI that comes out in a few weeks compares to this preliminary data.
