ST. LOUIS (KTVI) –Our region has seen a lot of cold temperatures, especially so far in January, but with a few exceptions, no real measurable snowfall. or whatever could be called ‘a heavy downpour’.
Looking at recent history, St. Louis is in many ways comparable to the first day it saw at least an inch of snowfall for the first time in a season last year, and a LONG way to an all-time record.

- During the ’19 -’20 season, it was November 11, 2019
- In the ’20-21 season, it’s a little later, not until January 27, 2021 when it drops nearly 3 inches.
The closest date to St. Louis had the first snowfall? April 5, 1971.
