It ended up very average. Cool and dry to warm and wet but a very cold new years...I think mid teens when the ball dropped. Sort of like how last year had that 2 day cold snap around Christmas
There was a storm pre Christmas of 97 that was a snow threat but trended warmer as we got closer. I think it started as a little sleet. Then we had that slushy snow around the 28th and a frigid new years eve before hitting 70 a few days later
I seem to recall an event in December 86 where the interior cashed in but closer to the coast we had nothing. It was also a very warm rainy Christmas eve/day that year. But 3rd week of January thru March was very solid
