Less than halfway through April and we are almost at 90% of normal!
That makes April the 2nd-wettest month of this (Oct-Sep) water year, just behind November's 95%.
We also had our farewell party for winter this morning, with 1/2" of snow at daybreak. No more can be seen in the 10-day forecast, and by late April it's almost thermodynamically impossible.
Curiously enough, we had over an inch last year at this time also. Before that April had not seen any measurable snow at our location/elevation, going back to mid-2014. Funny how patterns average out with such crazy extremes embedded..
update - we're just over 1/2" short of a normal April as of the 14th, with over an inch in the 7d forecast (which excludes that atm-river chart below). We have a strong candidate for our first above-average month since last June!
p.s. say it ain't so! Friday 4/21
