Very weak?
And there was still snow cover on Xmas eve from the Dec storm, although it was rapidly going at that point with fog and rain incoming iirc. So there was snow cover for at least 6 days. The 2 big storms in Feb featured snow on snow, so there was snow otg again for a week at minimum.
Yes Chuck, sun contributes to melting snow, esp when temps are above freezing. We ain't Maine dude.
What did you think of the late Jan storm that winter?
