One Measurable Snowfall in the First 18 Days of December
The main weather headline around these parts is the lack of snow. One measurable snowfall in the first 18 days. It is something we haven't witnessed at OSNW3 since we began recording climate data back in November 2006. However, when it comes to averages, it is expected to trend the opposite way after an all-time record setting monthly snowfall in 2008. For snow enthusiasts there is light at the end of the tunnel as snow chances do exist in the final two weeks of the month. For a basic overview of the chances of snow remaining this month visit the OSNW3 LRC analysis blog or get modelitis by visiting the OSNW3 Weather Breif below.

December Snows
With one tenth of snow measured so far this month it is easy to imagine where this month ranks all-time in snowfall. There are seven Decembers that recorded no snow but three of the those seven came up with zero snowfall observations. The accuracy of those months are in question.

I don't think I've ever seen your grass in December OSNW3! So with the lack of snow, does that mean some winter golf?
ReplyDeleteHere's to deep snow in '12!
wxwtchr, how you doing? How's MO? No winter golf, my clubs stay in the basement once November hits. I hold hope for winter to get better!
ReplyDeleteThings are beginning to slow down here in Fulton. We moved into our new home (an old home) about a year ago, and have spent most of our time fixing it up. My weather data has had to take a back seat during that time, but it'll get its life back soon.
ReplyDeleteMO is wet and warm! We have had one inch thus far, and no snow on the horizon. Lots of winter to go still! I'd rather save those "snow days" for January and February anyway when we need the break. Hope you and your family have a very joyful Christmas.
