Snow fell over parts of the state on Tuesday including Waterloo which reported all of an inch of snow, which promptly melted thanks to above freezing temps and very warm ground temperatures. This was the first snowfall for the location since the epic snowfall of early May making for a period of 171 days without snow. The featured chart shows the period each year since 1896 between the last spring snowfall and the first snowfall of the fall season. The two vertical lines are the simple average for the beginning and end of this period. Only two years had shorter periods with 1991 at just 153 days.
