That year had three separate snow storms produce 14″, 9″ and 5″ on different days. The least snowiest March out of the subset of data was 1911 when only a trace of snow was reported, while the snowiest march was 1906 which received a whopping 32″ of snow.

Even more, four of those months of March even had over 10″ of accumulated snow through the month. In the least snowy subset of data, only four months of March had less than 1″ of snow reported, while 10 out of 25 Marches reported more than 6″ of snow. That compares to the 120+ year average of 3.8″ with a median of 3.6″. The least snowiest winters actually averaged 6″ of snow in March, with a median of 4″. The average March snow in the top 25 least snowiest winters through February 17th interestingly had a higher average snowfall than the entire 120 years. When we look at the top 25 least snowiest winters through February 17th, we’ll pull that data aside to take a peek at how March has fared for those years. If we receive no more snow the rest of the season, it’s good for the least snowiest winter on record since the early 1900s. That sets us at the 12th least snowiest winter to date. So far for the Winter Season 2022-2023, we have received 6.2″. In an average March using over 120 years of data, March averages 3.8″ of snow in Champaign-Urbana, using data provided by the Illinois State Water Survey. We took some time to look at the data for clues about March when it comes to snow.
