The only good thing so far for me is that Dec, at least the first three weeks was ok with some snow and cold....got to enjoy the winter feel leading up to Christmas.
Where we end up Feb temp wise remains to be seen, but with 40 years of records, the last two Febs were my warmest on record...hate to make it three straight.
January finished here as follows.... Mean temp. 37.2° is 5th warmest, Precip. 1.88" is 3rd driest, snowfall of 2.8" is 6.6" below normal. Good riddance!
At least we had a pretty normal Dec temp and snowfall wise, for many of us. Some stations had record precip. totals....This month though, forget it...on all fronts.
Loved Feb 2015...Station mean temp of 21.8° , 2nd only to Jan 1977 for cold...Snowfall was a little above normal at 14" but with the cold, it was plenty.
22° here currently...managed to drop the temp departure to +6° with the recent colder weather, big whoops. Just 0.88" total precip....so mild, dry= boring.
