Snow 22 out of the past 25 days, but you have to hunt to find any left on the ground. Tuesday (December 09) brought our second freezing rain event of the season - another with a fair amount of ice. Today (December 10) started around 10ºC but quickly dropped to -5ºC. Even though we didn't get any freezing rain, the rain we got this morning was solid ice by this afternoon...

Snow has fallen 20 of the past 23 days. That total will probably become 21 of 24 after tomorrow, though the storm that will start as snow is forecast to turn to ice and, eventually, rain.
Incredibly, during the past 20 days, we have only received 22 centimeters (about 9 inches) of snow. Almost all of that came during a week-long stretch in mid-to-late November. Though it has snowed 11 of the last 13 days, we've only had 4 centimeters (less than 2 inches) during that time. (and I was VERY generous with the totals) There has not been complete snow cover since November 29, and it appears that the next 10 days will be the warmest in a month. Are we heading toward our fifth consecutive brown Christmas?

First day with a high temperature below 0º Celsius: A.D. 2008 November 18
It snowed every one of the last 15 days in November, though nothing much stuck the last five days. Still, it's pretty cool that we had fifteen consecutive days with snow this early in the season! Not to mention the fact that we've already had 20 centimeters of snow, 19 days with snow cover, and 09 days on which the ground was completely covered! This has definitely been the coldest/snowiest November that I've experienced in New York.

We awoke to three centimeters of snow this morning - by far our largest snowfall of the season. Though half of the snow had melted by noon, it began snowing at 15:00 and we had another centimeter by 16:00. As 20 of the 24 hours of this day had snow covering the ground, and as the day started and ended with snow covering the ground, 2008 November 17 will go down as the first day of the winter of 2008/2009 with complete snow cover.

A.D. 2008 November 10 might have been the first day in the winter of A.D. 2008/2009 that the maximum temperature did not exceed 0 degrees Celsius. I say "might" because I didn't get home until about 15:30, and it was 0 degrees and cooling at that point. I'm not going to save the date because it was just too close to call...
In any case, we awoke to our second snow accumulation of the season this morning. It wasn't much - somewhere around half of a centimeter - but it sure was pretty. Almost all of the snow is gone now, but the ground is still covered just three miles south of us. We ran some errands down there this evening, and some locations had as much as two inches. As it was very wet snow, it stuck to everything, turning the world into a winter wonderland... You have to love this time of year!
