An Adjustment in the Final Winter Snowfall Total

0
0

Normally we wouldn’t even be talking about the seasonal snowfall totals this far into May because the last of our measurable snow would have occurred weeks or even months ago, but because of our crazy spring that has featured 41.7 inches since of snow officially since March first (the start of “meteorological spring”) we’re posting this now.  The huge snow storm last week produced enough snow in two days to push us into fourth place overall for annual snowfall.  We received 14.0 inches on Thursday in what turned out to be the fourth snowiest single day of measurable snowfall in Rochester’s history and then another half inch fell on Friday in a secondary wave, pushing us into fourth place on that list.  The National Weather Service adjusted the official total earlier this week from 0.3 inches on Friday to 0.5 inches, a small change that made a big difference in our statistical standing. 

An unusually cold and snowy spring pushed Rochester into the top ten chart for annual snowfall. 57.1 inches fell after January.

Given that high temperatures in the 50s, 60s, 70s and possibly 80s are being forecast for the next couple of weeks, we’re thinking snowfall is finished for the season, but we then again we thought that last month too, so stay tuned…and keep your fingers crossed that spring is here to stay!
