Bob Chill Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 T6th warmest Dec T18th warmest Jan 4th warmest Feb 3rd warmest Dec-Feb Still a shot at the 3rd least snowy winter. Just awful. Awful doesn't quite cover it. Ghastly, deplorable, harrowing, and repulsive work a bit better. I'm an optimist so I'll look at the bright side. The odds of next year being worse are pretty slim and I save a couple hundred bucks on my gas bill this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinterWxLuvr Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Raining here at an incredible rate. Radar does not do this justice. This would be a very heavy rain even for a summer thunderstorm. I've lived in this house for the past four years and I've never seen runoff anywhere close to this.
