Midwest seems kind of lame compared to what I had thought.

Then again, maybe I've been spoiled by the Noreasters of 2011, 2013, 2014, and 2015...

How much it snows after the first 70° temp. Looks like 2-4" average here.

Interesting. A Map of places with the locals saying, "if you don't like the weather , wait 15 minutes."


The density in the Plains is surprising but I bet that's more for storm related as opposed to Southern New England with the Variety of it?

That just looks like a population density map of the US. Or a map of all weather stations. It seems like everyone says that.

Yeah it just seems like a population density map with increased density over Great Plains and the Midwest. Not much else to take away from it

I think it's a map showing every single place in the United Snakes.

Here's another map:

I'm suprised at all the green in Nunavut and the northern Northwest Territories. Some of those places get very little precipitation. Is it common to get a trace of snow many days in a row there? Or does blowing snow count as a trace?

I'm in the light blue. I don't know when we had three weeks with a trace of precipitation every day, but I guess it could happen.

Aaaand of course Upstate New York is green lol. This is why the coast is better

[dunno what to put here]

I don't know if we've even had 15+ days of at least trace precip here. Certainly not in recent years anyway. Might have happened a long time ago though.

They get trace amounts. Eureka, Nunavut, which rivals Death Valley as the driest place in North America gets a trace amount pretty much every day all winter.

Here is an updated map the eliminates the trace amounts.
