Its chilly here in Los Alamos, NM. Currently its around 50F and dropping fast. The NWS predicted snow showers for above 7000ft this morning but it stayed as rain thankfully.

Last night, it was cold here in Wichita. So cold in fact, we had frost advisories issued . Today seemed to warmup nicely though .

 

[Andrew Pritchard]

Hah, its colder there than it is here right now. We too had freeze warnings in effect last nite. Now, we're sitting at a balmy 44F.

Well, I got you all beat :lol:

We had close to 14 inches of very heavy and wet snow at the local NWS office and points north. I live about 15 miles from the NWS, and managed to sneak by with only 2 inches on the ground :lol:

This brings our yearly total snowfall to 97 inches according to DTX.

Yeah, but its starting to melt off rather quickly. I thought I was going to have to shovel there for a minute... :wink:

Unbelievable! You guys have already slaughtered us in the snowfall department for the season, and then you get this "bonus" snow! I think we ended up with 16" for the entire season, lmao. Oh well. As we Cub fans always say.........maybe next year!
