Less Severe Winter in Some U.S. Cities

With Chicago dealing with storm after storm and recording breaking snow falls, we assume that the rest of the North was struggling with the unusual amount of snow as well--especially when even Southern states were having snow storms. However, there were 10 metropolitan areas that experience lower amounts of snow than usual for this winter. The snowfall amounts were measured up to April 5 of this year. "While some of [these cities] have suffered brutally cold temperatures at times, these cities have had a mild winter in the sense that they have missed out on more snow, relative to normal, than any others in America." These cities include Sioux City, Iowa; Prescott, Arizona; Grand Island, Nebraska; Fargo, North Dakota/Moorhead, Minnesota; Logan, Utah; Reno, Nevada; Salt Lake City, Utah; Denver, Colorado; Provo, Utah; Flagstaff, Arizona.
