Weather Blog | Wx Blog Archive - 2003 > 2002In chronological order First Snowflakes of the 2002-03 Winter Season![]() Today's date is the 29th, so that means we are supposed to have 29 days of snow this season. We can only hope!!!! awc 2002-10-29 10:34First Measurable Snowfall of the 2002-2003 Season![]() The snow increased in intensity slightly as midnight approached, and the lawn/deck was solid white. Between 2 and 3 am this morning the snowfall ceased, leaving 1½ to 2 inches on lawn/deck. The streets/sidewalks remained warm enough throughout the snow event to melt any flake that dared fall on them. Unfortunately, it quickly warmed up this morning and there are only traces of our first measurable snowfall left as I write this. awc 2002-11-16 12:542nd Snowfall of 2002-03 Season![]() The snow continued into the wee hours of the morning, and for the second straight Saturday we woke up to 1½ to 2 inches of snow covering the lawn/deck. Once again, though, the streets remained warm enough to melt all snow that fell on them. Seasonal Snowfall: 3 to 4 inches. awc 2002-11-23 01:073rd Snowfall of 2002-03 Season![]() End of storm snow depth on the deck was slightly over 2 inches. Seasonal Snowfall: 5 to 6 inches. awc 2002-11-26 23:154th Snowfall of 2002-03 Season![]() Greatest depth of snow on the deck was less than ½ inch. Seasonal Snowfall: 5½ to 6½ inches. awc 2002-12-01 11:285th Snowfall of 2002-03 Season![]() Seasonal Snowfall: 7 to 8 inches. awc 2002-12-04 20:068th Snowfall of 2002-03 Season![]() This snowfall, the best so far this season, started at 8:12 Christmas Eve. I know because we were out driving looking at Christmas lights, and I noted the time when I saw the first snowflake in my headlights. By the time we got home about ten minutes later, it had developed into light snow. Within an hour, it developed into a moderate snow with brisk winds, and it remained that way throughout the night and until about 10am Christmas day. It slowly dwindled down and the sun briefly broke through around 1pm. There was a consistent depth of over 6 inches on the driveway; the typical snow depth on the lawn (in a driftless area) was 8 to 9 inches. Assuming the grass is able to lift up the snow an inch or so, my estimate is 7 inches of snow for the storm. Seasonal snowfall: 15 to 16 inches. awc 2002-12-25 20:40<< | Weather Blog | Wx Blog Archive - 2003 >> |
