This Winter 2025-2026

 It was a warm winter. We had one memorable snow that shut things down for a couple of days.

The average temperature for December, January, and February remained around 45 degrees.

The first snow hit on January 16th, north of town with some strong bands. I liked how this storm stretched over then dumped on the left side.

Our next snow storm, on January 24th, gave us significant snowfall around 7 inches and was made up of dendrites(what people think of as a snowflake and needles). Very cold temperatures followed and rewarded us with a day out of school. My beard froze while shoveling.

Then a dusting came on January 30th.

I wouldn't say Punxsutawney Phil lied when he saw his shadow. The NE has had significant snow this year, just not us.
