Sorry it took so long to finish my final recap on the Dec 5 snowstorm. I
have been busy this week.
I checked my records, and i could not find any other snowfalls in the
first week of Dec or earlier that reached 6.25" as this one did. In
fact, there only 2 other Dec snow storms of this magnitude. They include
a 6" event on Dec 27 1990 and a 7" snowfall ( and more in the mnts) on
Dec 10/11 1992.
My album of the storm is at
