The Midwestern Regional Climate Center provides high-quality climate data and value-added tools for our nine-state Midwest region. Located at Purdue University.
3 ways for AWSSI to start:
-Snow greater than or equal to 0.1 inch.
-High temp. less than or equal to 32°F.
-Starts December 1 if conditions have not been observed
In Bozeman, none have been reached, making it the latest AWSSI start on record.

It looks like much of the northern U.S. has increasingly seen consistent freezing weather in the past month, while southern and coastal locations have not seen much consecutive cold weather yet.

Since many locations across the lower Midwest and mid-South do not typically see measurable snow this early in November, many observing sites are seeing an "Extreme" start to winter, according to AWSSI.
This is very much subject to change.

The Midwest saw our first measurable snow this week & in some spots, it was at least 1-inch.
Some major climate sites do not typically report 1-inch of snowfall until early December, so we're a month ahead of schedule.

October was a warm one, especially west of the Mississippi River where average October temperatures were close to 10°F above normal for the month.

On Halloween 2019, the de facto capital of the Midwest, Chicago, observed over 3 inches of snow--how about that for a spooky day of weather 👻🎃
