How does this autumn compare with others recently in terms of rainfall, snow pack, etc?

Whereas, the warmest weather is about July 31, the coldest, I understand, is at the beginning of January. So the warm-up takes nearly seven months, but the cool-down takes only just over five.<br /><br />Why so much difference in winter vs. summer seasonal lag? Other places I have lived, things are more symmetrical, and the peaks of heat and of cold are both about a month after the solstices.<br /><br />Anselhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13835758313287462921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-19819584515805555882013-12-03T15:40:52.782-08:002013-12-03T15:40:52.782-08:00*sigh*...yesterday the GFS was showing cold temps ...*sigh*...yesterday the GFS was showing cold temps well into next week with a bunch of moisture (snow) Sunday through Tuesday.

For whatever reason, whenever we get snow, it seems to be intensified right in the area where I live. In 2008, we had a probably a foot more snow during the entire event compared with just a mile down the road. Might have to do with the orientation of a small ridge? Amazing how profound microclimates can be.<br /><br />I'd love to see more snow come along! Regardless, I got my exercise today scraping the icy slush off my driveway!Jim Terryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05068564615612575150noreply@blogger.com
