Snow free period

Posted: 15 Nov 2012 05:32 AM

Des Moines has yet to report snowfall this year, which extends the streak of days since the last reported snow during the first week of March. The featured chart shows period between the last snowfall reported in the spring and the first snowfall of the fall. Only two other years have seen a longer stretch without snow (2001 and 2004). The black line shows the average last and first date. Our first snowfall for Des Moines should happen before the end of the November, but the forecast keeps temperatures above freezing until at least Thanksgiving.
