February was a dry and average temp month with no big warmups or rains. Measured 1.22″ of moisture compared to the NOAA average of 3.11″. For the water year that we are 5 months into, the total is 14.94″ compared to the normal of 19.10″. Has stayed on the dry side thru fall and winter.
Snow for the month here was 10.9″ compared to my average of 16.1″ and for the season 48.2″. February snow extremes from my records are 0.0″ in 2012 and 40.0″ in 2015.
I am a skier and it has been a good year and very good last week with more snow falling in the Mountains. The key to keeping winter sports strong is no winter rain and a lack of big melts in winter. The Harris Hill Ski Jump also had a good weekend for jumping with a decent crowd and many jumpers.
All numbers are from my location in S.E. Brattleboro and do vary by your location.
