Here are some of the notable stats from December.
Snowfall to date - 17.7" --- Monthly Average: 13" , +4.7" above normal.
Temperature Average - 25.1" --- 5.2 degrees below normal. Albany has been "normal" or above average only 4 days out of 16 this month. Brrr...
Only after the Valentine's Day storm last year was Albany's seasonal snowfall above the level that we sit at today! Last December at this time we were just coming off a stretch of days that were in the 50's!
....and the current trend continues. Looking at some of the longer range forecast models the weather looks cold through Christmas and likely right into the New Year. A few storms may bring a brief modification or "warmup" of the weather for a day or two (I'm talking temps in the 35-40 degree range.) otherwise expect colder temps and the snow/ice/sleet storms to continue.
As always, thanks for tuning in,
Brandon
