Through A.D. 2009 March 08:
Days with snow cover: 115
Days with complete snow cover: 65
Total snowfall: 138 centimeters
Maximum snow depth: 25 centimeters
Greatest snow event: 20 centimeters
Lowest temperature: about -24.5º Celsius (-12º Fahrenheit)
Well, the last of the snow melted on A.D. 2008 March 06. It was the first time my farm has been devoid of snow cover since A.D. 2008 November 16.
On February 07 I wondered if the winter of A.D. 2008/2009 would end as quickly as it started. Since February 07 we have had only 11 centimeters (about 4 inches) of snow. The maximum snow depth during that time was two centimeters (for approximately 48 hours). As we near mid-March, it is beginning to appear that, as far as frozen precipitation is concerned, the winter of A.D. 2008/2009 did end on February 07.
