Through A.D. 2009 February 08:
Days with snow cover: 089
Days with complete snow cover: 63
Total snowfall: 127 centimeters
Maximum snow depth: 25 centimeters
Greatest snow event: 20 centimeters
Lowest temperature: about -24.5º Celsius (-12º Fahrenheit)
Thirty-nine consecutive days of complete snow cover ended today - two consecutive days of 5ºC+ weather will do that. The bad news is that hockey season appears to be over. The good news is that maple sugaring season has begun!
This winter started so quickly that you can pinpoint the date: A.D. 2008 November 16. Since then we've had about ten days with high temperatures above freezing. Incredibly, this winter may end as quickly as it began. A.D. 2009 February 07 marked the beginning of (what appears to be) at least a week of warm weather. The current forecast extends to the 15th, which is getting awfully close to when things start warming up in a hurry (usually the beginning of March).
