famartin Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 My parents' temps, wind and pressure are off because there were some days missing after the fire (and in fact wind was missing for quite some time), but the CoCoRaHS precip/snowfall data (which moved to briefly to my brothers house a mile south for a time after the fire) is as follows: Total precipitation: 48.10" Wettest day midnight-midnight: 4.68 on April 30th Wettest storm (2 days): 4.99" on April 30th-May 1st Number of days with 0.01" of precipitation or more: 128 Number of days with 0.10" of precipitation or more: 81 Number of days with 0.50" of precipitation or more: 28 Number of days with 1.00" of precipitation or more: 13 Total snowfall: 46.1" Snowiest day midnight-midnight: 8.5" on February 13th Snowiest storm (2 days): 10.0" on February 13th-14th Number of days with 0.1" of snowfall or more: 23 Number of days with 1.0" of snowfall or more: 10 Number of days with 5.0" of snowfall or more: 3 Number of days with 10.0" of snowfall or more: 0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
