Record Weather

Overnight, we* broke the record for the most snow in a season (and they'll keep counting until end of June). They've been watching and recording since 1885. This is a lot of snow for most places that people live, but there are also plenty of places that get 3x this amount. How's your weather been and what do your local records look like?

* "We" means the closest national weather service office which is 21 miles from my place.

We record the weather everyday at work and can go back to 1989. At another site we can go back to 1900 and they are fun log books to read.

This year it’s been cool so snowmelt has been slow. We have hit 25,000 cubic feet per second, but this site hit 197,000 cubic feet per second in 1987.

I live on a different river than where I work and that river is just at the start of flood stage. A smaller River it is running about 7,000 cubic feet per second right now. On Saturday I started seeing white blobs go by and realized the ice went out of the uppermost lake probably 50 miles upstream.
