February wetter than normal, with more rain than snow

Statewide, Iowa — February ended up being much wetter than normal — despite having what state climatologist Justin Glisan calls a “snow drought.”

The month will end up high on the list when it comes to precipitation.

A warmer than average overall temperature could be part of the reason for the below average snow.

February continued what has been a wetter and warm winter season.

This past Wednesday marked the start of the meteorological spring for Iowa.
