another wet spell

January 2022 will begin with a quiet day. 

Just one.

Crazy times begin immediately after: a bit of snow at dawn followed by about two inches of rain. That mix will sit atop, and drain into, about 12 inches of snow that began Christmas day and continued for the next five. It's been fun (well not the tree landing on our truck) but things will turn ugly. A flood of slush will be heading down from the hill-tops all around as the freezing level rises above 3000 feet for the week. Interesting times!

December ends with over ten inches of moisture, comfortably above both 30-year averages. The new average is lower (1991-2020) so it was well covered - and it looks like January will be off to a wet start.
