I was thinking the same thing.... Still have some snow piles left, but if it wasn't for that, you would have never known that it snowed last week. That's December climo for you..... similar to March.

downeastnc Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 PGV all time record is 70.23, currently we sit at 64.45" and that's before todays rain we could make a run at the all time but it seems unlikely......more remarkably though is that the last 5 years together are by far the wettest period in PGV history....we are 68" over normal since Jan 1 2014. That well over a years worth of extra rainfall in that time frame. 2014 61.45" 2015 69.09"---missed all time by 1.14" 2016 69.96"----missed all time by .27" 2017 50.49"---right on average 2018 64.45" and counting.....
