Purdue University's Midwestern Regional Climate Center (MRCC) has launched an online interactive Snowfall Climatology Toolbox that provides easy-to-use, ...

“There’s relevant information month after month or for the season as a whole.” Widhalm decided to update the snowfall data for the entire U.S. The MRCC and its project partner, the USDA Midwest Climate Hub, included states outside of their coverage area at the request of climatologists working in those regions. The MRCC covers a nine-state area, but when the center moved from Illinois to Purdue last year, some of the snowfall maps had yet to be updated with the new climate-normal data. The snow data in the toolbox is based on individual stations where measurements were made by hand every time it snowed. That’s the nature of precipitation measurements,” Widhalm said. “We combed through all of this data to make sure that these are high-quality, long-term data stations. On the weekend of Nov. The current climate “normals” period spans 1991 to 2020, replacing the previous period of 1981 to 2010. “We’re going to have several other snow statistics on version two. The toolbox also contains climate “normal” statistics for the most recent 30-year period with updates every decade. Then we improved and updated it with new visualizations and software that provide a streamlined site for accessing this snowfall data in an appealing way."
