The snowfall year-to-date starts on September 1. Sometimes the daily updates of these maps fail, in which case the maps for the Midwest from the Applied Climate Information System are a possible substitute.
The data used in these products come from the National Weather Service (NWS) Cooperative Observer Program (COOP).
