Weather Update

Through A.D. 2012 February 21:

Total snowfall: 031 centimeters (about 12 inches)
Days with complete snow cover: 13
Maximum snow depth: 11 centimeters (about 4 inches)
Maximum low temperature: 0 degrees Fahrenheit (once)
Greatest snowfall: 10 centimeters (about 4 inches)

The four inches of snow we got during this year's "big storm" lasted less than four days.  Other than those four days, we have not had a single day with more than 1.5 inches of snow on the ground.  Five of the days with complete snow cover were days on which the ground was covered with less than 1 inch of snow.

Meanwhile, the warm weather continues.  Surely we'll get some more snow - we may even get quite a bit more - but, at this point, we are at 20% of our average annual snowfall.  Without a couple of giant storms, we will end up with significantly less snow this winter than any winter since I've lived here (8 total).
