After working on this report for the last two weeks,I finally got it done...Would have been done sooner however do to some storm storms,I just didn't have the time....
This information is for Barron County Only!
Coldest month..No surprise is Jan...Mean ave daily max temp is 13.8° Mean daily ave min temp is 8.5°
The hottest month...July...Mean ave daily temp is 79.0° while the mean daily min is 56.0°
Barron County averages 32 inches of rain per year...We average 48 inches of snow per year...
Lets break this down even more...Lets go month be month.....
Jan....Daily ave high is 20.4...Daily ave low is -1.7...Ave precip is 1.00...Ave snowfall..11.75...
Feb.........................26.8...........................3.8...................... .82........................... 7.4

Nov.....................40.0....................22.7............................1.68.........................5.0
Dec....................24.4.....................6.3...........................1.29............................11.6
So lets see how our snow fall from Oct 08 through Dec 08 lines up with the chart above.....
Oct we saw 2.5 inches of snow..So that would bring us above ave for Oct...
Nov we saw....4 inches of snow....One inch below norm...
Dec...We saw whooping 34.25 inches of snow...This is way above ave...So far this would bring the season snowfall amount to 40.75 inches for that time frame...If we throw in the 4 inches we got so far in Jan 09...that would bring us up to 44.75 inches so far this winter....We are only 3.25 inches away from hitting our snowfall for the season of an ave of 48 inches....What is really interesting is if we don't get any more snow we would be 3.25 below the norms for the winter...It's highly unlikely, however it could happen...I have seen this happen some years..We get almost of ave snowfall for the year,then the rest of the winter turns dry and we end below norm in the snowfall dept...Not saying this will be the case..I'm saying it would not surprise me if it does happen, just like it won't surprise me if we go way above ave in snowfall this winter...
