Weather Update

Through A.D. 2009 March 03:

Days with complete snow cover: 65
Total snowfall: 138 centimeters
Maximum snow depth: 25 centimeters
Greatest snow event: 20 centimeters

Last night's low temperature was -15.5º Celsius (4º Fahrenheit) - that's pretty chilly for this time of year. March 02 and 03 marked our first two days with complete snow cover since February 08 - an incredible drought considering that February is, historically, our snowiest month. As I have mentioned in previous posts, it has been cold; it's just been dry.
