Wet April - Warm First Week of May

In my blog "Time to Talk Rain" I talked a little about the soggy April we had this year. This was good news, as without it we were facing severe drought conditions. Here are some of the numbers from the NWS:
3.22 inches of precip (1.29 inches above) normal.
7.4 inches of snow (the airport picked up less than most of us in the mid-month storm, 9.1 is average).
We have received 38.1 inches of snow this season, which is a whopping 22.3 inches below our normal 60.4 inches.

The first full week of May will start to feel a bit more summer-like... Monday and Tuesday there is a chance of afternoon showers, albeit a small chance, and then we should really clear things out and warm things up. By Saturday we could break 80 degrees for the first time this year.

--- New poll!
