YEAR END SUMMARY
STATION NAME: Snake River at Mora, MN65
STATION NUMBER: H36049001
YEAR: 2021
PREPARED BY: Steve Labuz, stephen.labuz@state.mn.us

CLIMATE SUMMARY: Division 6, 2021: After a generally mild winter with normal to below-normal snowfall, warm and dry conditions dominated the May-through-October liquid precipitation season, leading to widespread Severe and Extreme drought categorizations on the US Drought Monitor. Precipitation from May through October averaged about 65% of normal. May through July was extremely dry, with an average of around 5.5 inches of rain falling over the 3-month period (normal would have been 12.5 inches). June and July had bouts of extreme heat, which worsened the drought conditions, and May through October averaged about 3 degrees F above normal and was the warmest on record. Above-normal precipitation during late summer and autumn helped drought conditions improve, although deficits remained. No significant precipitation events occurred. Mean temperatures fell below freezing in early November, with accumulating snows most areas in early December.

STATION OPERATION SUMMARY:
Is this site monitored year round? NO
Open water dates - estimated Ice out and Ice in: Ice out on 3/15/2021, ice in is unknown because monitoring equipment was removed on 11/3/2021 while the river was ice free.
Open water sites ONLY. Period of data record (if different from ice out/ice in dates): 3/12/2021 to 11/3/2021
Summary of equipment - related factors that impacted data collection: Bubbler line causing static data was a problem from 3/12/2021 until 6/3/2021 when maintenance was preformed. Rain bucket collection was also a problem until 6/23/2021.

DISCHARGE SUMMARY:
Number of flow measurements for monitoring season: 6
Was the full range of flows measured for the season? NO - Spring high flows were missed but low flows were captured early and mid summer. The highest and lowest measured flow was 931 cfs and 35.7 cfs while the highest and lowest calculated flows were 1700 cfs and 33 cfs.
Was a new rating developed? NO
General summary of control changes/shifts needed: A low flow depostion shift was installed all year due to flaw in rating and a scour shift was assumed to be isolated to one event in September.
Quality of computed daily discharges: Flows qualities were mostly poor but also included fair, estimated, and ice.

PRECIPITATION DATA OVERVIEW:
Was precipitation data collected at this site? YES
Climatological liquid precipitation period: 5/1/2021 to 10/31/2021
Was there a complete and acceptable precipitation record for this period? NO - Data was deleted from 5/1/2021 until 6/23/2021 because the logger did not record rain bucket tips until logger was swapped.

YEAR END SUMMARY
STATION NAME: Snake River at Mora, MN65
STATION NUMBER: H36049001
YEAR: 2020
PREPARED BY: Steve Labuz; stephen.labuz@state.mn.us

CLIMATE SUMMARY: Division 6, 2020: Mild conditions and below-normal snowfall January through into April topped off a moderately snowy early winter, leading to below-normal to near-normal seasonal snowfall totals of 35-55 inches, with totals of 60-70 inches in Pine and Carlton Counties. The May-September growing season was warm and slightly dry, punctuated by very warm June through August conditions. A rare "mega-rain," producing over 1000 square miles of 6-inch totals, affected areas near the Minnesota River on July 25-26. An earlier widespread heavy rainfall event on June 28-29 produced 2-5 inches over much of the area, with other, more isolated heavy rainfall events producing 2-4 inches on May 27, July 18, August 8 and August 10. Temperatures fell deeply below freezing in early October, but with little precipitation falling, the liquid precipitation season extended to October 15. Snow fell several times beginning mid-October and into early November, with most of the area seeing totals of 10-18 inches by the end of November, and higher totals farther north, near Brainerd. Extreme warmth melted much of the snow during early-mid November, and the rest was melted by persistently mild conditions during the remainder of the month. No snow was on the ground as of December 1.

STATION OPERATION SUMMARY:
Is this site monitored year round? NO
Open water dates - estimated Ice out and Ice in: 3/23/2020 to 12/1/2020 with ice breifly occuring on 10/28/2020
Open water sites ONLY. Period of data record (if different from ice out/ice in dates): 3/12/2020 to 11/1/2020
Summary of equipment - related factors that impacted data collection: Data was lost mid July for five days. Wiring between equipment and the battery and GOES were replaced.

DISCHARGE SUMMARY:
Number of flow measurements for monitoring season: 4
Was the full range of flows measured for the season? NO - Only low flows were measuremed during the monitoring season. The highest measured flow was 388 cfs but the highest calculated flow was 4470 cfs.
Was a new rating developed? YES - Created rating curve 7 to adjust low flows from stages 1.5' to 6'. Low flows were noted clear but measured deposition after July 2018 large event. Trend persisted for 2 monitoring seasons.
General summary of control changes/shifts needed: Only the final measurement of the year required a shift for leaf litter and ice.
Quality of computed daily discharges: Daily discharges are coded fair, poor, estimated, and ice.

PRECIPITATION DATA OVERVIEW:
Was precipitation data collected at this site? YES
Climatological liquid precipitation period: 4/16/2020 to 10/15/2020
Was there a complete and acceptable precipitation record for this period? NO - Middle of September thru the end of the monitoring year were deleted due to underreporting and mid July due to logging problems.

DISCLAIMER: In the spring and summer of 2020, field work was limited due to the COVID 19 related travel and work restrictions. Because of this, there are less frequent discharge measurements, which can lead to more uncertainty and data estimation. This is reflected in the quality codes of the discharge data.

YEAR END SUMMARY
STATION NAME: Snake River at Mora, MN65
STATION NUMBER: H36049001
YEAR: 2019
PREPARED BY: Steve Labuz; stephen.labuz@state.mn.us

CLIMATE SUMMARY: Division 6, 2019: One of the wettest years on record, with annual surpluses ranging from in excess of 7 inches (20-25%). Cold and stormy conditions from the end of January through April contributed to seasonal snowfall totals of 60 to 80 inches, generally 20 to 50% above 1981-2010 averages. The first four months of the year were 4.6 degrees F below average, with a deficit of 8.5 degrees F in February. The May - September growing season was slightly cool and wet, with notable precipitation surpluses in May, and September. Heavy rains with isolated amounts exceeding 3 inches occurred six times, with some locations reporting four inches or more on July 16, 26, and September 30. Very wet and cool conditions prevailed from October onward, with the seasonal snowpack established during the end of November and all stations beginning winter with snowfall surpluses.

GAGE OPERATION SUMMARY:
Is this site monitored year round? NO
Open water dates - estimated Ice out and Ice in: 3/24 to 11/8
Open water sites ONLY. Period of data record (if different from ice out/ice in dates): 3/24 to 11/1
Summary of equipment - related factors that impacted data collection: The first 4 DNR visits in 2019 applied resets to the logger. 2 more resets were applied later in the season. The o-line was unburied from sediment on 6/20 and logged stages better following the maintenance.
Number of flow measurements for monitoring season: 9
Was the full range of flows measured for the season? YES - There were flow measured recorded at all flow regimes during the year. The highest and lowest flow measured were 5491cfs and 154cfs. The highest and lowest flow calculated were 6210cfs and 88cfs.

DISCHARGE SUMMARY:
Was a new rating developed? YES - rating curve 6 was created to add a descriptor point to update high flow quality codes. RC 6's shape is identical of RC 5's shape.
General summary of control changes/shifts needed: Baseflow deposition affected flow all season. Mid level flows were assumed to be clear until the large October event deposited material in the channel and affected low and mid levels. A high level out of bank veg shift was measured in October only affecting high flows late in the season.
Quality of computed daily discharges: Low flows are coded fair (from stages 1.3' to 6.6') and high flows are coded poor (from stages 6.6' to 14.4').

PRECIPITATION DATA OVERVIEW:
Was precipitation data collected at this site? YES
Climatological liquid precipitation period: 5/1 to 11/1
Was there a complete and acceptable precipitation record for this period? YES: All months were accepted.

YEAR END SUMMARY
STATION NAME: Snake River at Mora, MN 65
STATION NUMBER: H36049001
YEAR: 2018
PREPARED BY: Steve Labuz; stephen.labuz@state.mn.us

CLIMATE SUMMARY: Division 6, 2018: A long and late winter produced frozen precipitation and cold conditions well into April, with snow cover persisting until the final week of the month. The May - September growing season was warm and slightly wet, averaging 2.2 degrees F warmer and one inch (or about 5%) wetter than 1981-2010 averages. Major rainfall events produced 4-6-inch totals and flooding in east-central Minnesota on July 12 and September 20, with additional heavy rain events producing 2-4-inch totals on May 30, June 11-12, July 9 & 19, August 4 & 20, and September 15. Cool weather resumed in early October, with snows on the 9th and 14th, and the seasonal snow cover beginning during the final week of November or early December.

GAGE OPERATION SUMMARY:
Is this site monitored year round? YES
Open water dates- estimated Ice out and Ice in: 4/4/18 to 11/15/18
Period of data record (if different from ice out/ice in dates): 3/25/18 to 11/1/18
Summary of equipment-related factors that impacted data collection: The logger to GOES wire was melted on 4/4 and replaced on 4/25. The GOES clock was reset of 11/1 because it was 17:32 hours ahead of the actual time. The logger was reset 2x (5/22 and 7/17)
Number of flow measurements for monitoring season: 9
Was the full range of flows measured for the season? YES: several low and mid flows were measured, per usual but a historic event occurred on 7/12 and the peak (and highest ever) discharge was measured on 7/13. Another flow measurement was recorded on the descending limb on 7/14.

DISCHARGE SUMMARY:
Was a new rating developed? NO
General summary of control changes/shifts needed: A large deposition shift was installed for the historic 7/12 event's descending limb. The shift began at the peak of the event and lasted until the middle of the rising limb of the following event. The final 3 flow measurements of the year measured a slight deposition and a shift was applied accordingly.
Quality of computed daily discharges: Fair and poor.

PRECIPITATION DATA OVERVIEW:
Was precipitation data collected at this site? YES
Climatological liquid precipitation period: 5/1/18 to 10/14/18
Was there a complete and acceptable record for this period? NO: August and September under reported and were rejected after discussing with SCO. Raptors were photographed perched on the rain bucked in August and the rain bucket lid was missing during the September inspection. October also under reported but was ultimately accepted.

Flow Data Summary
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Open water only site.
Site visits to determine if the logger was tracking stage correctly were done at
a frequency of 8 weeks or less. Site visits were made by the MN DNR and local
partners.
The stage record tracked correctly and was complete for the entire monitoring
season.
Other stage data collection factors: No equipment problems in 2016.
13 flow measurements were taken during the monitoring season. Ice affected the
first measurement of 2016 and the rest were made during open water.
All recorded stage values were within the rating or less than 1 foot above the
rating with no change in channel control. The highest recorded 15 minute stage
was 16.34 ft on 07/13/16. The highest measurement was at a stage of 15.89 ft on
07/14/16. The highest historical recorded measurement stage was 13.935 ft on
07/12/16. All 3 stages are above the bank full stage of approximately 4.50 ft, so
there is no change in control.
Flow measurements were taken this year with a frequency greater than 4-5 weeks
and do not accurately reflect seasonal conditions. There was a 6 week gap
between the August and September measurements.
This site does not have a permanent fixed type control structure. The site is a
natural channel control.
Flow measurements were taken with a maximum frequency of 7 weeks, up to or above
moderate flow levels (50% of maximum seasonal discharge). Flows range from 111
to 13,560 cfs for 15 minute discharges and flow measurements ranged from 127 to
10,122 cfs for 75% of the highest flow for 2016.
This is not a stable site. Site has been affected by scour and vegetation over
the last couple years.
The rating is well developed over this year's range of flows when considering
both quality and quantity of measurements. After two years of measurements the
rating is pretty well developed, but could use more clear measeurements above 615
cfs as there's some uncertainty in the upper end of the rating due to back water
affects seen in 2016.
Site visits to determine if the physical characteristics of the control changed
during the monitoring season were done at a frequency of 5 weeks or less. Visits
were made by both the MN DNR and local partner.
A change in the physical characteristics of the control occurred at some time
during the monitoring season. The site was affected by scour, backwater and
vegetation.
Change in control: A scour was seen during ice out in March then back water
affected the site during the big flood in July and bank vegetation affected the
channel from the middle of August through the end of the period of record in
November.
Adequate flow measurements were taken to confidently adjust stage during
period(s) of altered control. Numerous flow measurements were made during the
backwater and vegetation affects.

Precipitation Data Summary
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The precipitation record tracked correctly and was complete for the monitoring
season. Frozen precipitation data was removed from the record of data. The site
tracked pretty well reporting 27.52 inches of precipitation compared to 30.50
inches at the nearby HIDEN site for 90% of the total.
At least three field visits were made to check the rain gage for obstructions
during the monitoring season.
There was no visual evidence or an indication from analysis of the precipitation
data that the rain gage was plugged at any time during the monitoring season.
Gage was noted to be clear all year.
There were no vertical obstructions near the rain gage that may have compromised
recorded rainfall values. The site is not affected by trees or other
obstruction.
The rain gage was calibrated within the last three years. Gage was installed on
08/05/14.

parts of the monitoring season. There was a gap between 04/07/15 and 04/29/15
that had to be estimated.
Stage was accurate and complete during all moderate to high flow periods this
season. The gap in data only accounted for 10.7% of the seasonal flow and was
below bank full stage of approximately 4.50 ft. There was a total of 83,401 cfs
in 2015. Of that volume of water, 8,907 was estimated when there was equipment
problems.
Incorrect or missing stage values were not accurately adjusted or estimated using
a technique that introduced less than 5% error in total seasonal flow volume.
The data was estimated using the upstream Snake site H36036002 as a reference
trace for the gap in data. The gap resulted in 10.7% of estimated data.
Incorrect or missing stage values were accurately adjusted or estimated using a
technique that introduced less than 15% error in total seasonal flow volume.
Other stage data collection factors: Bubbler and battery problems caused gap in
data in April.
8 flow measurements were taken during the monitoring season. All measurements
appeared to be in open water, no ice affected measurements were made.
All recorded stage values were within the rating or less than 1 foot above the
rating with no change in channel control. The highest recorded 15 minute stage
was 9.53 ft on 05/18/15. The highest measurement was at a stage of 5.95 ft on
05/27/15. The highest historical recorded measurement stage was 13.935 ft on
07/12/16. All 3 stages are above the bank full stage of approximately 4.50 ft, so
there is no change in control.
Flow measurements were taken this year with a maximum frequency of 4-5 weeks or
with a frequency that accurately reflects seasonal conditions.
Flow measurements cover less than 70% of the highest recorded seasonal/annual
discharge.
Flow measurements cover less than 40% of the highest recorded seasonal/annual
discharge.
Flow measurements cover up to or above 15% of the highest recorded season/annual
discharge. The highest 15 minute discharge for 2015 was 3,380 cfs on 05/18/15
and the highest flow measurement was 1,140 cfs on 05/27/15 for 34% of the total.
This is not a stable site. Site has been affected by scour and vegetation over
the last couple years.
The rating is well developed over this year's range of flows when considering
both quality and quantity of measurements. After two years of measurements the
rating is pretty well developed, but could use more clear measurements above 615
cfs as there's some uncertainty in the upper end of the rating due to back water
affects seen in 2016.
Site visits to determine if the physical characteristics of the control changed
during the monitoring season were done at a frequency of 5 weeks or less. Visits
were made by both the MN DNR and local partner.
A change in the physical characteristics of the control occurred at some time
during the monitoring season.
Change in control: Leaf litter affected the control for the month of October.
Adequate flow measurements were taken to confidently adjust stage during
period(s) of altered control.

Precipitation Data Summary
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The precipitation record either did not track correctly or was not complete for
some parts of the monitoring season. Gaps from 04/07/15 to 04/29/15 due to
battery malfunction. Frozen precipitation data was removed from the record.
The overall precip total for the year compares well to an adjacent station.
At least three field visits were made to check the rain gage for obstructions
during the monitoring season.
There was no visual evidence or an indication from analysis of the precipitation
data that the rain gage was plugged at any time during the monitoring season.
Rain bucket noted to be clear all year.
There were no vertical obstructions near the rain gage that may have compromised
recorded rainfall values. The site was not affected by trees or other
obstructions.
The rain gage was calibrated within the last three years. Gage was installed on
08/05/14.

southern two-thirds of Minnesota from February 28 through March 1. Very little
snow during winter made for very minimal spring runoff.
The stream was in its banks during the entire year. Stream was out of its banks
during large event in late May.
Periods of low or no flow: Nearly all of MN was under drought conditions in mid
to late 2012. Low flows were observed July through October with 2 of the 3 the
lowest measured flow measurements on record made in September and October of this
year.

The
first half of 2012 was warmer on average and saw temperatures that were up to
almost fifteen degrees warmer than normal in East Central Minnesota. The second
half of the monitoring season saw temperatures that varied from average
historical temps with July and November being notably warmer and October being
notably colder. Precipitation was not far off of past averages during the first
part of the year with the exception of May being slightly wetter. Average totals
during the second half of the year were lower than normal with September being
the driest month of the year. On February 26, much of the area received four to
eight inches of snow. Days later, a large, moisture-laden storm swept across the
southern two-thirds of Minnesota from February 28 through March 1. Between May
23 and 24 over four inches of rain fell in some eastern Minnesota communities.
On June 19 and 20, a large area of North Eastern and North Central Minnesota
received six to ten inches of rain over a 24-hour period. The rains, falling upon
a landscape already saturated from previous rains, triggered major floods in
Aitkin, Carlton, and St. Louis counties. Preliminary damage estimates for public
infrastructure alone top 100 million dollars. In terms of rainfall intensity and
the geographic extent of the heaviest of the rains, the event ranks among the
worst in Minnesota's post-settlement history. The state experienced widespread
rain on October 23-25.

Flow Data Summary
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Site vists to determine if the logger was tracking stage correctly were done at a
frequency of 8 weeks or less.
The stage record either did not track correctly or was not complete for some
parts of the monitoring season. During lower flows in mid to late season, data
became very spiky. Bad data had to be removed, assume low flows or sediment
interference causing data issues.
Stage was accurate and complete during all moderate to high flow periods this
season.
Incorrect or missing stage values were accurately adjusted or estimated using a
technique that introduced less than 5% error in total seasonal flow volume.
Other stage data collection factors: No other issues to note with the data.
8 flow measurements were taken during the monitoring season.
All recorded stage values were within the rating or less than 1 foot above the
rating with no change in channel control.
Flow measurements were taken this year with a maximum frequency of 4-5 weeks or
with a frequency that accurately reflects seasonal conditions.
Flow measurements cover a wide range of flows, up to at least 70% of the highest
recorded seasonal/annual discharge. Highest flow measurement of the year was
6,145 cfs on 5/29, exactly at the instantaneous flow peak of the year.
The rating is not well developed over this year's range of flows when considering
quality and quantity of measurements. Mid range flows between ~900-4000 cfs is
ungaged and goes through probably control change.
Low flow measurements also
have some scatter, curve needs better definition below ~300 cfs.
The rating has less than five measurements over the full range of this year's
flows. Gap in measurements from ~1300 cfs to 6150 cfs. A measurement at 4000 cfs
was made in 2011.
Site vists to determine if the physical characteristics of the control changed
during the monitoring season were done at a frequency of 5 weeks or less.
A change in the physical characteristics of the control occurred at some time
during the monitoring season.
Change in control: Probable fall debris/deposition occurred during low flows
September-October.
Adequate flow measurements were taken to confidently adjust stage during
period(s) of altered control.

The
first half of 2011 saw temperatures that were a half to three and a half degrees
cooler than normal in East Central Minnesota. July and October were notably
above average with 5 and 6.1 degrees respectively above average. Precipitation
was near average for most of the year with significant departures above average
in May and July and departures below average in September and October. Starting
off the year, snow depths varied greatly across the region and were above 20
inches in the northern portion of the region and gradually declined down to
around 8 inches in the east central area of the region with larger totals in the
Twin Cities Metro Area. Snow water equivalencies were between 1 and 4 inches of
water. The bulk of February precipitation in the southern two-thirds of
Minnesota was dropped by a major winter storm that roared through the Midwest on
February 20-21 with 6 to 19.6 inches of snow falling in the region. A large and
intense early-spring storm on March 22-23 brought from 2.5 to 10 inches of snow
to parts of the region. By April 4th only a trace of water was left in the
southern half of the region with an inch or two remaining in the snow pack in the
northern half of the region. Significant flooding was reported across Minnesota
during much of the month of April. River levels reached major flood stage along
the St. Croix River in April. Although the U.S. Drought Monitor no longer
depicted drought in east central Minnesota by April, some hydrologic systems in
this area remained impacted by long-term dryness that began in June of 2008. This
long-term precipitation anomaly is responsible for low water levels in larger
lakes and wetland complexes across Anoka, Ramsey, Chisago, and Washington
counties. July 2011 ranked among the ten warmest Julys in Minnesota's modern
record. The month of July was also notable for the intensity, geographic extent,
and duration of high dew point temperatures. Multiple days of very high dew point
temperatures were reported at many locations with dew point temperatures in
excess of 75 degrees. The remainder of the year was warm and dry as the U. S.
Drought Monitor, released on October 27, depicted nearly every Minnesota county
as experiencing some level of drought. The month of September saw the second
driest September on record, going back to 1882.

Flow Data Summary
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Site vists to determine if the logger was tracking stage correctly were done at a
frequency of 8 weeks or less.
The stage record either did not track correctly or was not complete for some
parts of the monitoring season. Data is poor and spiky all year until 6/14 when
it appears to malfunction and flatline at 18.83 ft.
These points were deleted,
record ends on 6/14.
Spiky sections were smoothed or estimated using upstream
trace: H36010001 or downstream traces: H36061003, E36076001.
Stage either did not track correctly or was not complete during some or all
moderate to high flow periods this season.
Incorrect or missing stage values were not accurately adjusted or estimated using
a technique that introduced less than 15% error in total seasonal flow volume.
Estimated flows account for nearly 35% of record.
Other stage data collection factors: No other issues noted.
7 flow measurements were taken during the monitoring season.
Some recorded stage values were above the rating by a value greater than 1 foot,
or less than 1 foot with a change in channel control. Rating extended just over
a foot beyond highest flow measurement.
The present rating can be accurately extrapolated or modeled to the highest
recorded stage values. Cross section shows extension is within same control.
Flow measurements were taken this year with a maximum frequency of 4-5 weeks or
with a frequency that accurately reflects seasonal conditions. 6 week gap during
State Government shutdown, but this occurs after logger malfunctions, end of
monitoring season.
Flow measurements cover less than 70% of the highest recorded seasonal/annual
discharge.
Flow measurements cover up to or above 40% of the highest recorded season/annual
discharge. Highest measured flow was 4003 cfs on 4/7/2001, this is 45% of
highest computed flow of 8785 cfs on 5/23/2011.
This is not a stable site. Debris appears to collect at this site and affect
stage readings.
The rating is not well developed when considering quality and quantity of
measurements. Large gaps in rating between 1000 to 4000 to 7000 cfs.
Lower
flows have some scatter due to debris affecting stages.
The rating has at least five measurements over the full range of flows. But more
higher flows are required to fill in gaps and verify high flow measurements.
Site vists to determine if the physical characteristics of the control changed
during the monitoring season were done at a frequency of 5 weeks or less.
A change in the physical characteristics of the control occurred at some time
during the monitoring season.
Change in control: Debris collects at site and affects stage. This occurred
multiple times during the season, most occurring later after logger had been
pulled.
Adequate flow measurements were not taken to confidently adjust stage during
period(s) of altered control. No logger data available to determine when shifst
should begin or end.
The potential error in cumulative flow volume introduced by changing channel
control is less than 15%. No data are computed during period of altered control.
The potential error in cumulative flow volume introduced by changing channel
control is less than 5%.

2010
in east central Minnesota started out near average for both precipitation and
temperature. Snow depths for the region were between 8 and 15 inches to start
off the year and maintained those depths until snow melt in mid-March. The water
content of the snow pack was modeled to be between two to four inches. Soil frost
depths under sod range measured from three to twelve inches due to the heavy
blanket of snow cover impeding frost penetration. March and April were
significantly higher than average temperatures at nine and seven and a half
degrees respectively above average. The first five months of the year were below
average for precipitation with March being the driest at three quarters of an
inch below average. Snow cover was completely gone by March 18th according to
state snow depth maps. June through October were above average months for
precipitation with the wettest month being August at almost two inches more
precipitation than average. August and October were both warm months being
around four degrees above average. The first three weeks of October were quite
dry across the state. Most locations reported little or no precipitation through
October 22. The benign weather was followed by a very active four-day period that
was responsible for nearly all of October's rainfall and snowfall. The bulk of
October's precipitation was produced by a massive storm that plowed through
Minnesota on October 26-27. The storm dropped two to four inches of
precipitation in the region. November was also several degrees higher than
average with slightly below average precipitation. Snow Depths by the end of
November for most of the region were between two and four inches with the most
northern areas having as much as 8 to 12 inches on the ground. Ice-in around the
state occurred in early December.
