Ahhh, Winter* has finally returned. It snowed unexpectedly today. In addition, today was the first day of the Winter of A.D. 2009/2010 with a high temperature at or below 0º Celsius. (Today's high temperature was about 29º Fahrenheit.) The snowfall was the fourth in the past week, but the first that accumulated. In fact, today's snow cover was the first since A.D. 2009 October 17. Incredibly, we went the entire month of November with no sticking snow. Perhaps just as incredibly, it only snowed three times for a grand total of approximately 45 minutes. Most days during November had high temperatures in the 50s Fahrenheit. The absence of sticking snow in November marked the first time in the six Novembers that I have lived here that has happened.
Through A.D. 2009 December 05:
Days with snow cover: 04
Days with complete snow cover: 00
Total snowfall: 007 centimeters
Maximum snow depth: 06 centimeters
Greatest snow event: 06 centimeters
*Note: I capitalize the name of the season Winter knowing that it is grammatically incorrect to do so. However, I believe that it deserves it.
