Early December 2013 Weather Stats

Well, has this December's start been significantly different from 2012? You bet your britches it has!

Last year, December 1 to 9, the average high was 63°F versus this years 43°F – that's a full 20 degrees colder! And the lows? This year's 26°F versus last year's 44°F was also significantly lower. Another obvious difference is the snow pack that fell on the 5^th and which is still hanging around as

of the 9^th! A situation that may persist through the next coming days, but which will likely dissipate right before the 13^th when more snow is forecast! And, oh yes, we are still some ways from the official start of the winter season!

Both this year and the last were also a bit stingy in the rainfall department, with December 2013 at .61 inches versus the same time last year at .54 inches.
