Looking back at April.

Time to look back at April...


April was a wild mouth to say the least…. We had some warm spells, had lots of cold snaps…. Overall temps averaged out colder than normal once again..We did have 5 days with > than ½ “ snowfall….We had 1 severe thunderstorm day, 3 non severe thunderstorm days… Let’s go ahead and break this down even more….First off we will start with the snow days….

April 1st we had ½” of snow on the ground.

April 16th we woke up to 3.00” of snow on the ground.

April 20th we saw 2.50” of snow on the ground.

April 27th we picked up another 1” of snow.

April 28th we picked up ½” of snow….

This brings the April snowfall to 7.50” which is way above our normal snowfall for April… This number will stand, if we don’t get any snow before midnight tonight…. The snow days doesn’t count the days were there was light snow/flurries…Just anything >than ½” of snow that accumulated.

Days that had thunderstorms….
