Is there a decent source for a statistic that gives VFR vs. IFR vs. NO

Say, for iced in Iowa, or for turbulent but clear Tejas.

I'm a computer guy so once all the cool new aviation weather stuff
started showing up online I used it for all my flights. However, I
recently discovered what I lost by not looking at the traditional
charts. Weather Depiction charts, Radar Summary charts, etc have a lot
of great info and much of that info is not covered in the new 'fancy'
graphics. Nowadays I typically first go to http://aviationweather.gov/std_brief/
and look at the FAA charts. I also fly a Mooney so I'm usually going
some distance. If I were still flying the Aeronca I would probably
just crack the window.
