Headed for 100 inches

The snow and rain just keeps pouring down in the Coeur d’Alene area.

This became the wettest February on record Monday when the month’s total precipitation surpassed a 6.49-inch record set in 1940.

The latest precipitation total rose to just over 7 inches by Tuesday evening, creating an even steeper new record to break, said Press meteorologist Randy Mann.

“Morning snowfall puts us at just over 91 inches,” Mann said. “Looks like we’ll get another 100-inch season, the fourth in less than 10 years.”
