Map shows % of winters (1948 - 2019) with below average snowfall prior to Jan 1st that then had below average snowfall after Jan 1st. Suggests, at least in northern and southern IL, a slow start to the snow season does not foretell below average snowfall later on.

It's a hot one, but it's not keeping these @Illinois4H livestock judges at home! They are competing in the state 4-H livestock judging contest in the Stock Pavilion at @Illinois_Alma. Kudos Illinois 4-H, @ILextension & the Dept of Animal Sciences for organizing a great contest!
