New Snowfall Record

I knew it was an exceptional amount of snow this winter.  It's official.  We broke the seasonal snowfall record.  Saturday, April 7th, snow fell across the city  and at 4 p.m. the official tally was 133.6 inches, breaking a record set during the winter of 1954-55 by an even 1 inch. Another 0.9 inches fell by 7 p.m., putting the total at 134.5, where it would likely stand , the Weather Service said.

Easter Morn was a white one as evidenced in the photos below.

But on this morning of April 19th, there are huge patches of brown grass showing through the remaining snowdrift piles.  Not a tinge of green on the trees yet, but these 15 hour days of sunlight, and temps in the upper 40s/lower 50s should have those popping out soon.  The pendulum swings.
