snowiest. december. ever!

[PurdueWx80]

madison's snowfall record for the month of december fell with today's 2.9". 36.1" has fallen in december '08, beating the old record of 35.0" from 2000. this is more than 2 feet above normal, and we're already closing in on our normal seasonal snowfall. we need another inch to break the record for snowiest month ever.

to top it all off, 2008 is now, by far, the snowiest calendar year on record here, too. we've seen 106.8" this year, blasting away the old record from 1994 by nearly 2 feet, and there's a bit more to come in the next week.

keep in mind last winter (07-08) was our snowiest on record.

i'm about ready for it to end, but there's more tomorrow night, and probably again saturday. looks like we'll get back into a clipper pattern late next week. BAH! i'm about ready to move to miami.

Most of the systems have been staying just south of me over the past year. Its been a decent start snow wise in the MPX CWA though.

We have friends that live in Milton and they are so ready for it to stop!!! They are leaving for Phoenix sometime after the first of the year for an extended visit with their son and daughter-in-law and are already counting down the days!!
