February Climate Summary

I think winter is over in Salt Lake City. Febrauary was even more disappointing than January, with only 5.1" of snowfall for the month. Seasonal snowfall is now at 49.4" - far short of the 105" average over the past two winters here on the Wasatch Bench. On the plus side, temperatures were about eight degrees above normal. If it's not going to snow, then bring on Spring. In the graph below, you can see although snowfall in Grand Forks was about the same (5.4") temperatures could not have been much further apart. There was only one day in February in which the HIGH temperature at Grand Forks was warmer than the LOW here on the Bench. Let that sink in. Here are the goods:
