We're currently at 8cm compared to a normal of 34cm for the whole of December, but there's only ~1cm forecast between now and Christmas, so it's looking like a well below normal month. Maybe the final 6 days of December bump things up a bit? But it probably won't be enough to bring us to the historical average.
Got 4cm of wet snow this morning. I guess we did manage to beat November after all. This might be it for the month though, next four days will be too warm for snow.
Total to date: 29.5cm (11.5")
Normal to date: 56cm (22")
Current forecast calls for 6-8" on the 9th and 4" on the 12th, so that should bring the monthly totals up to par (for MTD) and season to date would be brought almost up to par.
Total to date: 59.5cm (23.5")
Normal to date: 65cm (25.5")
Got 3cm a couple days ago, and 18cm tonight. The switch over to rain happened about an hour ago but it should switch back to snow in a few hours and give us at least a few more cm. Might get us over the normal to date mark.
Not the first snow, but the first snow "event" for the season in JNU. And quite cold too presently. Glad I'm not there.
