March broke us from a cold winter to a somewhat warmer month with little snow and near normal moisture. At my location measured 3.25″ of precip compared to the NOAA normal of 3.62 inches. For the year to date the total is 7.49″ compared to the average of 10.12″. This area is continuing with below normal rain/snowfall.
Snow for the month was only 6.7″ compared to my average of 10.4″. The season total stands at 54.9″ with my moving average continuing to drop, now at 62.3″. Back during the first decade of the 2000’s my seasonal average was in the area of 68″ and has mostly been dropping since. In 2001 the March snow total was 46″.
April has started with rainfall totaling 0.73″ reported this morning along with a fair amount of lightning last night. All numbers are from my location in S.E. Brattleboro and do vary with location.
Thanks
This winter seemed to have snowflakes of some sort falling nearly every day, even if it was just one or two with nothing sticking.
I’m sure that’s an exaggeration, but compared to recent rather snow-less winters, this one felt like it had a bit of life to it. Not much, but some. : )
Feel sorry for the kids these days who have never seen really deep snow seasons, though. 25 years ago I had enough snow in the driveway to stand on a pile and look in second floor windows.
