The temperature was just 1.4 degrees higher than average. The precipitation was 0.38-inch below normal and the snowfall was 0.08-inch above average.

The average temperature last month was nearly 1.5 degrees colder than normal. Precipitation was a little higher than average – but there wasn’t any snow.
