Well, we finally put this March in the record books as the snowiest March on Record. So far, at the time of this posting, we have managed to accumulate nearly 34 inches of snow for the month at Erie International Airport. Considering the average March in Erie sees 11.2 inches of snow, this is impressive.
Not only is the month of March in the record books, our seasonal snowfall total is too. After last night's snowfall, we have moved into 9th place for the snowiest season on record with a total, seasonal accumulation of 118.7 inches of snow.
Now, I know there are some reading this blog without a smile on their face, or feeling of accomplishment, so I will toss out some good news to these folks. Next week, it looks like we will see some Spring-like weather in the forecast. You can see that forecast at wsee.tv.

I am very excited that March 2008 has broken the all-time snow record here in Erie. I think if winter drags on like this and we're this close to records, we may as well go all the way! Think there's any chance of accumulating 30.5 additional inches of snow before this snow season comes to an end? We may as well hope!
By the way, thanks for blogging, Ray! As an avid weather junkie [especially anything snow-related], I really enjoy your posts!
