A snowy weekend
Apr. 4th, 2021 07:44 pmThis is what it's been like most of the weekend:
Over a foot and still going! Crazy! Schools and work are closed tomorrow. Here's what the News-Miner said:
"[12.4 inches is] a new two-day April snowfall record for Fairbanks, according to Weather Service measurements, eclipsing the previous record of 11.4 inches, set in 1948. According to climatologist Rick Thoman, "big snows (or rain) in Fairbanks in April are unusual. Past 106 years only six storms produced 6" (15cm) or more accumulation in two days."
Thoman also noted that the snowfall for Fairbanks between March 29-April 3 would be at least 21 inches, well more than the 1948 record of 16.9".
Average April snowfall is 2.9".
After the storm moves through, temperatures in the Interior will drop sharply, with lows in the double digits below zero by midweek, according to the National Weather Service"
Aw really, a crazy snowstorm and then double digits below zero?? So much for spring. :P We've also had 176 consecutive days below 40 degrees..it's only supposed to be 11 tomorrow, so we're going to break the all-time record of 176 days set in 1966. Breaking records is kinda cool, but I'd really like a "real" spring now haha
( april 3-4 )
