White till Christmas?

Posted: 10 Dec 2013 05:45 AM

With the ground covered in snow and freezing temperatures in the forecast, could our current snow cover make it to Christmas Day? The featured chart presents the duration of snow cover when it was present on 9 December for Des Moines. Christmas is shown at 50%, meaning that half of the years with snow cover on the 9th had that snow stick around until Christmas. 25% of the the years had the snow stick around until the first of February even! Winter is in firm control of our weather with even colder weather expected tomorrow.

Voting:
Good = 23
Bad = 2
