Jeff emailed this to me late last night...
Carrie, I copied and pasted the paragraph below from our local stations
weather report. We set a new record that was 10 years old!!
New All-Time December Snowfall Record
As of 6pm this evening, 6.1″ of snow has been measured at the
Rochester International Airport from this latest round of winter
weather. This makes for a grand total of 37.8″ of snowfall so far this
month in Rochester, MN, which surpasses the old December record of
35.3″ set back in 2000.
*The measured total of 6.1″ is not official yet and there’s a chance
there was a bit more snow received after the measurement.*
The normal snowfall for Rochester, MN between November 1st and March
31st is 47.2″, only 9.4″ more than what we’ve received in just the
first 20 days of December and only 8.1″ more than the 39.1″ we’ve
received so far this season.
The normal seasonal snowfall (July 1-June 30) is 51.8″, only 14″ more
than what we’ve received so far in December alone, and 12.7″ more than
the 39.1″ we’ve received so far this season. With our 39.1″ of snow so
far this season, we’ve already reached 75% of our yearly snowfall
budget.
