16th Snowfall of Winter 03-04

I thought last Saturday (6 March) would be winter’s last gasp… we had a dusting of snow. Then we had snow showers a couple of days last week… again never leaving more than a dusting. Perhaps all told, we got ¼" total out of those showers.

The forecasters promised moderate snow beginning about midnight this morning (16 March), to last through 6pm, with 3 to 5 inches expected. Well… it finally started snowing about 6am and it snowed moderately at times until fizzling out around 4pm. The snow melted throughout the day, even though the high was only 35°, so it is a little difficult to pinpoint the total snowfall. The snowdepth appeared to max out at about 1½"; and I’m guessing we got just over 2". There’s still up to 1" left on the yard and deck.

Season snowfall: 37"
