How much snow does Norway get?
A normal year brings about 20 inches of snow to Norway, based on NOAA's 1991–2020 climate normals for the Chalmers 5 W weather station 12.2 miles away. The snowiest month is usually January (6.6 in).
| Oct | Nov | Dec | Jan | Feb | Mar | Apr | May |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0.0 | 0.5 | 4.1 | 6.6 | 6.2 | 2.5 | 0.4 | 0.0 |
Normal snowfall in inches. TALON Pro compares this season's snow at your location with these normals as winter goes on.
Which radars cover Norway?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KIWX (Fort Wayne, IN), about 69 miles northeast. Radar beams climb as they travel, so the height of the lowest scan over town decides how low in a storm the radar can see.
| Radar | Distance | Lowest beam over Norway | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KIWX Fort Wayne, IN | 69 mi northeast | 5,600 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KIND Indianapolis, IN | 78 mi south-southeast | 6,700 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KLOT Chicago, IL | 89 mi northwest | 8,100 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
Beam height is the center of the 0.5° scan above the radar, with standard refraction. Mountains near a radar can block it further.
