Weather Update

Through A.D. 2010 December 27:

Days with snow cover:  029
Days with complete snow cover:  018
Total snowfall: 021 centimeters
Maximum snow depth: 09 centimeters
Greatest snow event: 08 centimeters
Maximum low temperature: 07
º Fahrenheit (about -14º Celsius)

Well, we finally got some snow!  Even though the forecast said "less than a half inch of snow expected," we ended up with more than three inches!  Along with the snow we've had cold temperatures (two consecutive days with a high temperature of 16ºF.) and sustained high winds.  To be honest, it's been pretty miserable out.  I look forward to getting out in the snow, but I won't have much time to do so.  After tomorrow, we're forecast to have 9 straight days of temperatures significantly (40s and 50s F.) above freezing.  I'm very excited about the snow, but why couldn't we have gotten it at the beginning of the month, when we would've had 30 straight days to enjoy it?!
