With over half of February behind us (and not a lot of snow on the ground) I thought it would be great to take a look at how much snow has actually fallen so far in 2010…or should I say how little? Well it hasn’t been all that much. Here are the numbers:
· January - 34mm of precipitation.
· February - 3.5mm of precipitation (so far).
Let’s start with January as that total is a little deceiving. 34mm sounds like a healthy amount of precipitation but most of it did not fall as snow. 12mm of mostly rain fell on January 24th where Peterborough saw a high of 4.8 degrees and 17mm fell the following day almost entirely as rain with a high of 6.6 degrees and a low of just above the freezing mark. Even though all of February’s precipitation has fallen as snow there just hasn’t been that much. (Just 3.5cm over 19 days). Our next best bet for snow will likely be early next week but with daytime temperatures expected to exceed the freezing mark, some of that precipitation may fall as a rain and wet snow mix.
