December was another drier than average month with 3.24″ measured, compared to the NOAA average of 4.30″. Precipitation was well distributed thru the month but the 2 largest storms were both rain.
My 2025 end of year total is 46.66″, slightly lower than the NOAA average of 47.54″. Without the over 10″ rain in the month of May we would have been much lower overall.
For the month of December measured 4.25″ compared to a normal of 4.30 inches. Most fell as rain but we did receive 8.4″ of snow compared to my average of 13.8″. The approximate water equivalence of the snow was 0.55″, so a very dry cold snow from western clipper systems.
I have been measuring snow since 1993. The average December snow from 93-2010 = 16.1″ and from 2011 to current = 11.3″. Snowfall on average continues to fall as total precipitation increases. All this time we were well into climate change. Wish I had data from the 1960s when I don’t remember a lot of rain storms in winter.
