When you go to Gail Speer's Presque Isle weather site, have you clicked on the link to "Presque Isle Snow Information?" Her charts there show new snowfall received, day by day, as well as total snow presently on the ground.

And, when you go to the bottom of that page, you will see a link to "Yearly Comparison of Snow History." I like to compare our total snowfall and our snow depths for this year with the last four years, information Gail has there in very clear graph form.
I know we've had hardly 4" of snow since Christmas, but I didn't realize how much less snow we have had so far this winter than last year at this time. This winter: about 38" of new snow. Last winter by this date: 66" of new snow.
And, none is in the forecast for the rest of this week, either.
Maybe that means February and March will be whoppers?? We will see, but I do enjoy following Gail's snow data, and comparing to the last few year's.
Must be something crazy going on, as we have had a nearly sunless time in Portugal!!! What the heck!!
