Another metric showing a calmer winter

Posted: 16 Feb 2012 05:47 AM

This winter has certainly seemed more like the other seasons of the year rather than the brutal winters we remember from past years. The featured chart is another metric showing how few winter weather headlines have been issued by the National Weather Service so far this winter as compared with the past six years. The value shown represents the average number of winter weather advisories and warnings per county in Iowa. The values are partitioned each year for before and after 16 Feb periods, so there is still plenty of time for more winter storms.
