One of the unique datasets that the IEM curates is a mosaic of NWS NEXRAD imagery. These spatially and temporally consistent mosaics provide a nice overview and allow for simple visual details on precipitation patterns over the US. The IEM has an archive of these mosaics dating back to 1995 with the featured map showing a postage stage presentation of the data for each year at 5 AM on 6 March. It is kind of neat to be able to quickly contrast the previous years with what is happening this morning. In fact, the RADAR this morning is about the most active for any year at this date and time since 1995!
