Current U.S. Snow Cover

As of this morning, 53.9% of the U.S. had the white stuff on the ground. A year ago on this date, only 41.2% of the country was covered in snow.

There are just a few states with little to no snow on the ground.  An interesting note on the map below, you can see the heavy snowfall from the most recent snow storm that tracked from Texas into Arkansas, across Tennessee, Kentucky, and the Virginias.

The winter of 2014 appears it wants to stick around along as possible and this winter will be one that is remember for widespread arctic air outbreaks as well as the numerous winter storms that impacted the country, especially areas of the Deep South. How many more winter storms are ahead for the remainder of this winter and into the spring? Only time will tell, but statistics say a few more winter storms could impact portions of the country before we can finally say so long to this winter.
