Wet January and February
Posted: 01 Mar 2023 05:30 AM
The featured chart presents the yearly combination of January precipitation vs February precipitation
for Ames. Some statistical measures are shown on the plot attempting to tease out any relationship
between these two variables, which there is none. What's interesting about this plot is the dot shown
for 2023. The year features the first combination of January and following February with monthly
precipitation totals both over two inches for Ames! A few of the other extreme years are labelled on the
chart as well with the most recent comparable being 1971. Our first chance of precipitation for March
arrives Thursday evening as another blockbuster storm winds up to our south and perhaps spins some
winter weather our way.
