Weather Update

Through A.D. 2011 February 23:

Days with snow cover: 087
Days with complete snow cover: 068
Total snowfall: 097 centimeters
Maximum snow depth: 30 centimeters (12 inches)
Greatest snow event: 10 centimeters
Maximum low temperature: -12º Fahrenheit (about -24.4º Celsius)

New greatest snow event...four inches!  The 5-9 inches that were forecast turned out to be exactly four inches (about 10 cm).  That's a pretty small "storm," but - incredibly - it is the largest storm we've had this year.  After losing almost all twelve inches of snow we had last week, eight inches accumulated in the next three days.

Two of the past three days the highs have been in the mid teens, the other day was in the low twenties.  Today's supposed to be around freezing.  As I type this it is three degrees below zero.
