The featured chart presents the yearly combination of January precipitation vs February precipitation for Ames. Some statistical measures are shown on the plot attempting to tease out any relationship between these two variables, which there is none. What's interesting about this plot is the dot shown for 2023. The year features the first combination of January and following February with monthly precipitation totals both over two inches for Ames! A few of the other extreme years are labelled on the chart as well with the most recent comparable being 1971. Our first chance of precipitation for March arrives Thursday evening as another blockbuster storm winds up to our south and perhaps spins some winter weather our way.
