"One final note about the precipitation, although I don’t normally like to talk about total snowfall in terms of calendar years, it is kind of interesting to break it up this way for 2008. The snowy winter and spring from earlier this year combined with the third snowiest fall to give us 332.0 cm for 2008. This is far and away the most for a calendar year, easily surpassing the old record of 257.4 cm back in 1924 and twice the average annual snowfall which is 159.5 cm."
Also lost in the year end frenzy were the weekly snowfall updates, so here we go again: As of January 9th we have had 154.0 cm of snow this snowfall season. This compares to only 79 cm last year at this time.
And as per a suggestion from the comments on the blog here is a graphical comparison of this year's snowfall to the average (the green zone) and last year's amount (the top red line).

Looking at the chart it would indicate that if it stopped snowing today and did not snow for the rest of the winter we would still fall in the average snowfall range. That's scary.
So, on average, it won't snow anymore this winter?
As of Sunday, we now have had 163 cm of snow this snowfall season.
This means that even if we don't get anymore snow this season we would still be above the average of 159.5 cm.
But my bold prediction is that we will get more snow.
Thank you for keeping us posted on snow totals this year!
