Spring and Snow
It is, of course, officially spring. At least according to the calender and the American Cancer Society who is doing their annual Daffodil Day fund raiser today. So some homes will have a touch of spring today.
Meanwhile, on the ground, there is still snow. This has been the snowiest winter in a long time. Enough to break some records . Currently we are at 112" of snowfall in Concord, which is the official snow measuring station for NH. And last week we were in something like 8th place. But the snow this week has moved us up to 4th place.
1) 1873-74 122.0"
2) 1872-73 115.0"
3) 1995-96 113.2"
4) 2007-08 112.0"
5) 1886-87* 111.0"
6) 1887-88* 111.0"
And there is another storm headed our way next week. Plus snow in NH in April isn't that unusual - one year we had a huge storm on April 1 (no joke). So we have time to break the records.
If they took official measurement in the state in places other than Concord, the record would already be history. Here's a snow map of New Hampshire and you can see the northern areas have already broken the record with Diamond Pond being the winner at 197 inches as of the end of February.
So now, although I am quite sick of the snow, I say let's go for it! One more big storm next week; let's break the record and be done with it. Time of move onto other things..like spring!
Ha ha! Well we certainly live in different weather systems. I only saw snow once and it was just 2 inches (I was still excited). I'm with you though bring on the snow, that would be fun to break the record!
