First Flakes of Fall

Posted: 28 Oct 2010 05:52 AM

The first snow flakes of the season where reported yesterday afternoon over extreme northwest Iowa thanks to our large storm system to the north. The featured chart presents the first fall occurence of snow as reported by the sensors at the larger Iowa airports and the human COOP observers. The average first occurence is around the first of November, so yesterday's snow is nothing exceptional. The winds are finally expected to die down some this evening with the coldest night of the season on the way for tonight.
