Juneau AK broke a record for snowfall for Dec. totaling 80 inches of snow for the month. My type of town. I may consider a winter vacation there soon. I am fed up with looking at bare ground 99% of the time for 3 months. Hagerstown currently sitting on 2 inches of snow for this winter.
Bud i note you are always posting about the lack of precip rain or snow in your area.. is there a meteorlogical reason for that or is is just a prolonged drought? I know the whole mid atlantic is in a long droght, i saw nj actually is in a drought advisory or something to that affect
As far as Hagerstown MD goes, it is mostly location. We are too far east and blocked by the Appalachians to get the full effect of lake effect plus down sloping dries up what limps over the ridges/mountains. And we are too far west to get the full effect of ocean storms. Going back over 150 years when weather records started to be kept in our area, Hagerstown in Washington County has had the least amount of rain/snow on average every year. The early settlers called the Cumberland Valley, where Hagerstown is found, Pleasant Valley due to its tranquil weather year-. round.
interesting.. thank you
