2012 another warm, wet year
For the third year in a row, our temperatures and precipitation were above average. For the second year running, snowfall came in less than average. Our average high temperature in 2012 was 64.4 degrees and the average low temperature was 44.2 degrees. This put the year's overall temperature 2.7 degrees ...
December hat trick: warm, wet, white
December had it all . . .warmer than average temperatures, along with more precipitation and snow than usual. The month started very mild with a high of 64 degrees on December 4, but ended cold, with a low of 20 degrees on December 31. Overall, the milder temperatures won out, ...
Driest November on record
We started November on the wet side, with 0.15 inches of rain on the first day of the month. Only a quarter of an inch of rain fell the rest of the month, making for our driest November ever recorded. The 0.40 inches of rain was well below the old ...
Sandy makes October another wet month
October is typically our driest month of the year, with 2.36 inches of precipitation on average. Thanks to an assist from Hurricane Sandy, this was not a typical October. We received 4.30 inches of rain the last 5 days of October, pushing our total for the month to 5.36 inches, ...
A cool and wet September
September got off to a really wet start, with 3.95 inches of rain on the first day of the month, a record for the date. Rain exceeded an inch two more days in September, with 1.07 inches on September 18 and 1.66 inches on September 27. We ended up with ...
We dried out in August
After a very wet July, August dried out, with 17 dry days and 4 more days with only a trace of precipitation. Our wettest day was August 5, with 0.89 inches of rain. Severe thunderstorms were in the area only twice during the month, on August 8 and 9. We ...
Despite the rain, July simmered
July was our wettest month since the hurricane-remnant fueled month of September, 2004, when Frances and Ivan’s moisture helped dump 10.73 inches of rain into our rain gauge. Our rain gauge (and of course yours was probably different) collected 8.69 inches of rain in July, 4.94 inches above average. We ...
The heat was on in June
At least the nights were not warmer than average in June, but we heated up by day. Low temperatures in June averaged 58.2 degrees, right at normal. High temperatures came in at 81.7 degrees, nearly two degrees above average. We hit 90 degrees or above five times, including 97 on ...
May another warm month
This is shaping up as a very warm year. January was about 6 degrees warmer than average, and February came in nearly 5 degrees above normal. March was an incredible 11 degrees above average (probably our warmest March ever recorded), but April actually fell to about a half degree cooler ...
April was cool and dry
For the first time in more than a year, we had a drier and cooler than average month. Back in January, 2011, temperatures were 2.8 degrees cooler than average and precipitation was about a half inch below normal. Temperatures during the recently concluded April came in about a half degree ...
Record heat in March
The National Weather Service in Pittsburgh reported that their average temperature in March was 51.5 degrees, the highest ever since record keeping began in 1871. Since our records began some 70 years after Pittsburgh’s, our 51.4 degree average temperature recorded in March has likely never been bested as well. ...
Mild weather continued in February
January was an unusual month, with above normal temperatures, precipitation, and snowfall. February came within a tenth of an inch of snow of duplicating that feat. Our average high temperature in February was 43.4 degrees, four and a half degrees above average. Lows for February averaged 5.9 degrees above ...
January Above Average
On the first day of January we hit 55 degrees. The last day of the month was 5 degrees warmer. So, it should come as no surprise that the month was a mild one, with temperatures averaging nearly 6 degrees above normal. The surprise is that January was also snowier ...
December Weather Typical For 2011
As December went, so went the year. Both were milder than average, wetter than average, and less snowy than normal. The last month of 2011 was another wet one, with 3.24 inches of precipitation, about a third of an inch above average. Snowfall was hard to come by, however, with ...
November Wet But Not White
If you were looking for snow, November was not your month. We had only a trace of snow on both November 11 and 17, and while the snow on the 11th actually tied the daily snowfall record, we ended up 2 inches below our monthly average. It was ...
October Keeps The Wet Weather Going
There was a week of dry and warm weather in October, but overall the month was cooler and wetter than average. From October 5 through October 11, no rain fell, and high temperatures were all between 72 and 79 degrees, with the 79 degree readings on the 8th ...
