Here is the current USA/Southern Canada snow cover. The most recent big snow in the East (NC to Maine) has mostly melted from southeastern Connecticut southward it looks like (though still some snow around NYC/Northern NJ it looks like). There was snow cover (though very light) into southern North Carolina...but temps hit near 60 F there in the last few days, and the sun angle at 35 latitude makes snow cover quite fleeting. However, the West still has a lot of snow deep into the Southwestern states: In fact as you can see…near the New Mexico/Arizona area, the snow cover is right to Mexico (though very light I’m sure). Northern AZ had a recent big dump of snow, and there could be another big snow headed for the upper Midwest in the coming days:
I'm surprised we have (I'm in Long Island right now) still have snow on the ground after several warm days and rain. A foot of snow takes a while to go away. Looking at the forecast, it will looks like it might melt in a few days since the snow cover looks really light.
I wonder how accurate that map is for the west.. that map says we have 4-8 inches on the ground here but there is only a thick layer of frost on the ground.
"best" is relative, lol.
But then again, I am Canadian and winter snow isn't impressive; not having snow in winter is.
Is it unusual for all of western Kansas to have snow accumulations?
I lived in Western Kansas for a while. It's not that unusual for snow there. It would snow and be on the ground for a week or so before it would melt. Then 3-4 weeks later it would do it again.
It is unusual for snow to stay for long periods of time.

I had 16" of snow in my yard, now I can see ground in many places!
