...DATA FOR HARRISON FOR WINTER 2020-2021...

.SUMMARY...
THE WINTER STARTED OUT AND CONTINUED WARMER THAN AVERAGE UNTIL
FEBRUARY. FOR THE SEASON AS A WHOLE, THE AVERAGES ALL ENDED UP BEING
CLOSE TO TWO DEGREES BELOW THE 30-YEAR MEAN, ALL DUE TO FEBRUARY
BEING SO COLD. THIS MADE IT THE COLDEST WINTER IN SIX YEARS.

THE AVERAGE HIGH, LOW, AND SEASONAL TEMPERATURE WERE ALL THE COLDEST
SINCE 2014-2015, BUT MANAGED TO STAY OUT OF THE TOP TEN COLDEST.

RAINFALL WAS BELOW AVERAGE, WITH JANUARY BEING THE WETTEST MONTH, AND
FEBRUARY BEING THE DRIEST MONTH.

FOR THE 58TH WINTER IN A ROW, MEASURABLE SNOW FELL. HOWEVER, UNLIKE EVERY
WINTER SINCE 2014-15, SNOWFALL WAS ABOVE AVERAGE THIS YEAR. IN FACT,
THIS WAS THE SNOWIEST WINTER SINCE 2013-2014.
