The featured plot is of daily high temperatures versus snow depths for locations in Iowa this past weekend. There is some ambiguity to the timing of the snow depth and high temperature measurement, but it is close enough for government work. The main point is to show the effect appreciable snow cover has on temperatures. While Southern Iowa enjoyed 60+ degrees on Sunday, most of Northern Iowa struggled in the low 40s.
