I was surprised that my high temp. yesterday reached 28. One thing I noticed is the sun is gaining elevation here and I'm getting about 30 min of more sun a day since the winter solace. That in itself is a step in the right direction especially where I live with living at the mountain. Even though we still have plenty of winter left to deal with.
I remember a clipper we had here, NWS was calling for about 3in. but during the event NWS had to up the amounts, we ended up with 8 in. But I can't recall what year that was. My guess it was 10+ years ago.
