Mar 3(Tues)

A awesome sunrise, quickly giving way to some showers. Those subsided in the afternoon for a period, before more pushed through mid afternoon. Creating plenty of social media rainbow pics. Later on, some thunderstorms pushed through that contained first soft hail, then also snow around 9:30-10pm, didn’t stick.

No new snowfall, although snow was in the air around 9:30-10pm. About the time of the rapid drop on the daily temp graph.

Periods of rain and mild; a brief thunderstorm with pea hail in late afternoon. Turning colder late in the day.

The average temperature of 31.7F for the 3-month period of Dec to Feb just ended (aka “meteorological winter”) is the warmest it’s been since the winter of 1998-99. See Table 12.3 below.
