Winter of 2021-22 Could Be One of the Least Snowy on Record

The lack of snowfall in the winter of 2021-22 has weather officials watching the month of February closely.

 

For the entirety of the winter, there has only been around an inch-and-a-quarter of snow recorded at the National Weather Service Lincoln office and Ed Shimon says that is a pace that could be one of the least snowy on record.

 

 

Shimon points out, just because the current data shows a lack of snow doesn't mean February or March couldn't produce some significant snowfalls.

 

 

The lack of snow has created a dry start to the year, however, Shimon reminds the fall was exceptionally wet and soil moisture is doing just fine and predicts this dry trend to start to change as we get into February.

 

 

Like Shimon mentioned last week on Regional Radio, central Illinois is showing strong trends for above-normal rainfall through February and March.
