#1 I noticed that Madison and about 20 other cities in WI had Dec snowfall records. Also, Glasgow, MT and Spokane, WA and a few more on the northern tier.

And some cities in TX, LA and MS had records snowfall also from one storm.

Obviously, the main storm track was along the north for much of the month.

The NWS is forecasting a warmer than normal Jan-Mar for much of the east.

#2 It is -4F right now. A 'warmer' Jan-Mar would be welcomed.

And I hope everyone has a happy 2009.

#6 We've been comparing snowfalls with the west coast relatives. The aunt in Seattle has been cooking on a Coleman stove more than half the time due to intermittent power; and says Seattle plows the highways but not the side streets. Mo buses. We've had a running "who has more snow?" contest with the relatives in Spokane. Spokane whupped our record; we had 38.9 inches in Madison and they had 64 and change.

#7 Madison, Wisconsin: 39" snow so far this winter

Spokane, Washington: 64" snow so far this winter

Thank ~~AlBore~~ goodness for Gerbil Wormining™, mom - else they'd be buried under 10 feet of snow.

Just sayin'.... ;-p

#8 It's not the snow so much as the temp. I'm in Madison 2-3 days a week, and it seems a bit warmer than last winter, but that bit is the difference between -5 and 0.

Is Spokane that cold?
