The 1970s avg was 21.25. CPK is behind by 0.82 The # of above average snowfall winters from 1970 through 1999 was 4 (including 78/79 which was 29.4). CPK has already received 2 above average snowfall winters in 6 seasons this decade, well ahead of the pace. We have seen 3 <50% snowfall winters this decade. The 1970 through 1999 total was 11, CPK is ahead of that pace. Will continue to monitor.

Blizzard warning issued for many a week ago today

Today will be the warmest day of the year with highs into the mid 50's. The warmest day so far this year was 51.4 degrees on January 7th. Today will be our warmest day since the 56.6 degree reading on December 19th. To put a fine point on how unusually cold this winter has been since December 1st today will be only the 6th day to reach 50 degrees or higher. During the winter months of December through February 60 of those 90 winter days featured below normal temperatures. The warmth will be short lived as a cold front crosses the area overnight tonight. We could also see some wintry precipitation by tomorrow morning as light rain looks to transition to some freezing drizzle as temperatures fall below freezing by 7am. The freezing drizzle could end as a little light snow before ending by noon. Very cold on Monday with temperatures remaining below freezing and more snow arriving by Tuesday morning. This should change to rain by Tuesday afternoon with warmer and wet conditions through much of the upcoming work week.

EWR snowfall nearly double mine

Cyclical pattern FTW!!!

Congrats! You will be held to a higher standard now. The peanut gallery will be on the lookout... 48F already, 10:55am, Sunny as can be...

If we can ease out of winter would be most preferred —keep the lawn pack protected until climo eliminates risk of a hard freeze. Should that happen could make for a most beautiful April… One could wish.

Next winter will be normal and we’ll have to hear how much it sucks all year

Effff even the big snow potentials at this point. 10 types a gawge out there now.

-sd's (some -10's) around the area this morning. Cold day in the teens with another cold one to start March tomorrow.

Glad this fizzled...traveling to Saddleback tomorrow.

very light snow just started here

I think the first map is mislabeled. I believe the date was March 22, 2018, not March 29.

The tornado traveled a distance of 40 miles killing six persons, injuring 350 others, and causing 28.5 million dollars damage. The tornado swept homes right off their foundations, and tossed eighteen wheel trucks about like toys. Strong straight line winds associated with the powerful storm system gusted to 70 mph at Jonesboro AR and Carbondale IL. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data) 1988 - Thunderstorms in California produced severe weather during the early morning hours.

The path of the tornado was over open rangeland and cropland where limited damage occurred. Patches of snow were still on the ground at the time. (NWS North Platte)

Glad to help @The 4 Seasons! You could vectorize those images using QGIS (free software). It'd be incredibly tedious though. You'd have to geo-reference the images, then trace the contours. I think it'd be worth it

Almost 47⁰ here already and we have had more clouds than sun so far...will feel great once they move out

Congrats!

My kid's birthday party is today otherwise we'd be at the closest playground.

Friends, the drought guy here has shown my experience now. I finally had enought time the last few weeks to gather my educational background information to provide the board with earning my met tag. Thanks guys

I don't remember this one. How much did area locations get?

In Fort Kent we had 27" at the stake on April 6, 1982. 24 hours of temps in the low-mid teens and 15" later, we had 26". Also had a bit of wind.

Feb EWR: 3.31 LE / EWR: 29.3 (snow)
