It was a very dry meteorological winter (Dec-Jan-Feb).
Some of our long-term climate stations cracked the top-ten of
their driest winter seasons (Dec 1st-Feb 28/29th).

We may see white rain tomorrow. And that I think will be the last time we see snow this season.
Like all season, precip starved systems screw us. It’s why we are in a drought.
Time change next weekend so it seems tracking season so just about kaput for me. It was a nice winter.
I hate bugs but next eeek they’ll start coming back.
Providence is STILL getting hammered. If they don’t have 40”, I’ll be shocked. But it has to be impossible for them to measure.
I am SO thankful that 2016 32” monster was fluff. I can’t fathom that with this heavy slop snow.
