There should be a weather stat for how many days snow fall still covers the ground. They’ve got stats for everything: number of inches of snowfall, amount of rain, how likely it is to rain, hourly forecasts, heat index, wind speed, and the list goes on. But what about how many days pass in between a heavy snowfall and the morning when all traces of that snowfall have vanished. It takes a heavy rain in between to wash everything away. First snow. Then rain, followed by sunshine. Then it’s cold again and the city is grey. No snow at all.
