Statewide Iowa (RI) — Iowans who are dreaming of a white Christmas will likely have to settle for brown and faded green.
Despite all of the snow the state’s received in recent weeks, National Weather Service meteorologist Dylan Dodson says a majority of that snow will be gone before December 25th arrives, and any new snow isn’t likely to stick around.
While some Iowans can’t quite get into the Yuletide mood without snow on the ground, Dodson says it’s just not in the cards this year.
Places like Des Moines have already gotten 18 inches of snow in the past month, exceeding the snowfall from all of last season, while Fort Dodge has seen the state’s heaviest snowfall with 33 inches since Thanksgiving.
