Go for the record?

As of March 6, 2008, Cedar Rapids is in its third snowiest winter at 59.1″.
The snowiest was 1959-1960 at 62.4″.
Three-quarters of an inch and we’ll be in second place. I say, go for the gold and get it over with! Global Climate Change (ha-ha) is to blame; either that or George W. Bush!
Typically, March has some good snow falls, though the recent days indicate that Spring may still arrive.
Try remembering all this in late July and August.

I agree… we’re so close, we need another good snow to break the record!

Our friend Joe in Vinton, who keeps a very close eye on the weather, told us that the Cedar Rapids airport records for snowfall may be off, and that they may take another look at them. The airport totals don’t seem to agree with other reports. On the other hand, a farmer friend of ours says that he hasn’t seen a winter like this even in his childhood. We’re over half-way through March, so time is running out.

The weather report today suggested that, if the models don’t change, we can expect 6+ inches of snow on Friday… !
