So far, our longest stretch with complete snow cover was four days.  It rained after that, and it was about a week before we had complete snow cover again.  This time it has lasted for three days, but it is supposed to rain tomorrow, and I expect to lose complete snow cover once again.

It was another brown Christmas here in Central New York.  That makes seven out of eight.  This year, there was absolutely no snow.  In fact, we only had about two inches of snow from the first snowfall through Christmas, and one inch of that came during the first snowfall back in October.  There were five or six dustings, but that was it.  In addition to the lack of snow, it has been warm: most days the high temperatures have been in the 40s or 50s.

We got about a centimeter of snow on the second (I can't remember if it was during the day or during the night of the 2nd/3rd).  It's still here, though it will likely be gone by the end of the day tomorrow.

By the way, no "snow cover" statistical category this year because work makes it nearly impossible.  Also, I'm not sure which day was our first with a high temperature at or below 0 degrees Celsius.
