02/19/18 & it's raining for like the 9th time this month. Is this the norm now ? Is a lot of snow now being replaced by rain each year ?

While I'd rather the rains come in March and April, I'll take it coming early. Forecast ahead just looks like a ton of rain with this warmth. I'll take it over a week of snowstorms.

It's no longer December or January. My enthusiasm for cold as run out. Talk to me again after Thanksgiving.

This is something that if you look at the record has gone back and forth through the years. It has always been the case that around here (more so along the coast than inland) we get both snow and rain during February and the winter in general. We are certainly below 32 enough that there has not been a year where it didn't snow and stick at least once, but most years we have some rain too.

If anything, in the last 25-40 years or so we have usually had MORE snow, not less than in the past. One theory is that in a warming climate, you generally get more precip, but that it hasn't warmed enough for more of that to be rain, another related one says it changes the patterns so if we do get precip the pattern favors a colder, snowier one. Who really knows? (see below)

This time around, I'm not saying this to debate what Cambium calls "you know what", if anything just to point out that generally it has actually been snowier, not rainier, in recent times and that climate and weather patterns are a much more complex subject in general than the media and for that matter either side of the debate makes of it, which is what makes the actual debate so much more complicated than it may seem.

Was 41°F at midnight. 47° now 6:30am. Here we go.


BTW .. 60s overnight in Indiana and Ohio. We never experienced mid 50s as a low in February. Not even 60s in March. Must feel nuts to wake up to.


Fog eating the snowpack here. Down to 1"
