- INDICATES NEGATIVE NUMBERS.
R INDICATES RECORD WAS SET OR TIED.
MM INDICATES DATA IS MISSING.
T INDICATES TRACE AMOUNT.
THE FIRST HALF OF FEBRUARY WAS CHARACTERIZED BY GENERALLY WARM
TEMPERATURES ACROSS THE REGION AND DRY CONDITIONS. THIS ALLOWED
SNOWPACK ACROSS THE REGION TO ERODE WITH TIME. A MAJOR WINTER STORM
BROUGHT WIDESPREAD RAINFALL AND SNOWFALL TOTALS OF BETWEEN A HALF
INCH TO AN INCH. SNOWFALL TOTALS ACROSS THE REGION RANGED BETWEEN A
FEW INCHES TO A FOOT OF SNOW WITH HIGHER TOTALS AS YOU WENT FURTHER
NORTH. THIS PROVIDED 90% OR MORE OF THE PRECIPITATION THAT WAS SEEN
IN THE MONTH OF FEBRUARY.
REMEMBER, THIS DATA IS PROVISIONAL AND SUBJECT TO CHANGE. THE FINAL
AND OFFICIAL RECORDS WILL BE AVAILABLE FROM THE NATIONAL CENTERS FOR
ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION (NCEI).
