Votes: Good: 11
Bad: 0 Abstain: 0
The winter season snowfall started off quickly during late November and into December, but has slowed considerably since for parts of the Midwestern US. The featured map presents current season to date snowfall departures are reported from NWS CLImate reporting sites. Negative values colored in red denote accumulated snowfall departures below average for the season. Not all of Iowa is indicated below average with Waterloo and Dubuque both slightly above. Accumulating snow does not appear likely over the coming days as much warmer temperatures are forecast into next week.
