This is the best way to sum up the past winter: it was dry with about average temperatures. A lot of this can be attributed to the weak La Nina that developed in January. Here are some fast facts:
*A normal winter features four days with highs exceeding 70 degrees. This winter had nine (three of these days were in the 80s earlier this month).
*The lowest minimum temperature was 4 degrees on the morning of January 17th
*The lowest maximum temperature was 23 degrees on January 16th
*The highest maximum was 82 on both March 8 and 9
*The snow total was 6.3 in Richmond, which all came from one storm. This is almost half the norm for the entire winter.
*The overall average temperature was below normal for January and March, while February was much warmer than normal.
*We have seen more precip this month than both January and February combined.
