gravitylover Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 That was the worst period... The last 3 storms of 07 were pure sleet and the first storm of 08 was too. I don't remember ever expending so much effort to move frozen material out of the way. It was like picking up a shovel load of ball bearings which, as you might imagine, is a pretty challenging endeavor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doncat Posted March 22, 2020 Author Share Posted March 22, 2020 My station stats for astro winter are as follows...Temp was 2nd warmest on record just falling short of 2011-12. Precip was somewhat below normal at 9.06". Snowfall of 2.8" is the lowest on record, beating the 3.0" total in 1997-98. Overall grade . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barman49 Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 I haven't seen this posted on here and wasn't sure where to put it so mods feel free to move/delete it if it was posted or on the wrong area. Kind of disappointing this won't happen till 2022 though. https://www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2020/03/04/noaa-supercomputer-upgrade/Sent from my GM1925 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
