Average weather temps March 2008

I haven’t posted in a while, but I am interested in this past winter’s weather, especially the temperatures, because I don’t think we had as many cold days as we are usually supposed to have in this area. Here are some monthly breakdowns I found.

Yesterday was the most beautiful day we could have asked for. It got up into the 70s and was bright and sunshiney all day. I didn’t even need a jacket at night, just a light sweater.

Sonoma!

Recap of 2/26

The forecast for the 26th, as you can see below, was for rain all day. From my observation, it wasn’t a heavy rain all day. It would rain off and on and mist throughout the day, but the heavy rain didn’t start until the evening.

Current Conditions

2/23/08
9:00 am
Cloudy, cold (I haven’t set up my outdoor thermometer yet to get exact readings)

End of 2/22

So the recap on this week’s “Winter Storm” is that the snow stopped at around 12:00, rained until around 6:00, and now it’s clear and cold outside. Here are photos of our back yard and the accumulation.

2/20 Update

It’s been lightly snowing since 4:00.
