2009 in Iowa was ridiculous. We got like a foot of snow in late November and it didn't melt the entire winter if I remember right. It's what I imagine living in northern Minnesota or Wisconsin is like.2007. 2009.
I remember attending my wife's Gma's funeral before Thanksgiving sometime in the mid 2000s (sorry don't remember exact year) and temps were below zero. We stayed in the crappy Super 8 in Story City and I had the heater cranked all the way and the room was still cold.Man i just cannot remember a winter that was this brutal this early
Yeah, this. That winter sucked so bad. We shattered the record that year with consecutive days with snow cover. Winter of 2000-01 and 2013-14 were brutal from start to finish too.2009 we got about 8 inches of snow in early December and it didn't melt until March.

Correct. On Dec 8th 2009 a blizzard dumped almost 16 inches on Des Moines with wind chills in the 30 below range. That storm dumped it's heaviest in central and south central.
And a little over two weeks later on the 24-25th of December another storm hit Iowa with the heaviest this time in NW Iowa where Spencer received 2 feet of snow.
I rate annual snowfalls by the tanks of my snowblower gas. Most years one gets me thru or maybe one plus. Pretty sure that year was 5-6 tanks.2009 we got about 8 inches of snow in early December and it didn't melt until March.

You must be a young buck then.
2007. 2009.
2019 it snowed before Thanksgiving also and highs were in the single digits for a few days.Makes sense since I recall 2008 and 2010 as bad flooding years in the spring?
