A featured map a few days back showed Des Moines leading the Midwest states for largest season to date accumulated snowfall departure from average. So it is a good time to check if this total ranks as the largest season to date accumulation. The featured chart indicates it is not with this season's total about seven inches below the record for accumulation to date for the site. The chart also presents the long term average, along with the min and maximum season accumulation years, and also the season total for last year. It is interesting to see this season way ahead of the maximum season total of 1911-1912, but the chart clearly shows the epic amount of snowfall that fell during March of that season. Well, if we are going to have a snowy winter, we might as well try to set records!
