Across the Corn Belt, dry weather prevails. The coolest conditions are occurring in the Great Lakes region. Away from the Great Lakes, any remaining snow continues to erode. In Moline, Illinois, for example, the snow depth fell below 1 inch earlier this week for the first time since late December. Moline’s streak of 63 consecutive days (December 30 – March 2) with at least an inch of snow on the ground at daybreak was the longest in that location since 2000-01.
