An active February and an asteroid watch

It’s been a snowier-than-average February in Coeur d’Alene and the rest of the Inland Northwest. As of the weekend, about 2 feet of snow has fallen at Cliff’s station this month, compared to a February normal of 11.9 inches. The snow this month has been more than what we received in November, December and January combined. On Feb. 1, only 8.4 inches was measured in Coeur d’Alene with a seasonal total now over 32 inches.
Not much additional snow is expected in the lower elevations through the end of the month. The weekend rainfall, especially in the lower elevations, was due to warmer air from the central Pacific Ocean. However, it looks like we’ll have another round of snow in early-to-mid March. The normal amount of snow in Coeur d’Alene between now and the end of the season is around 10 inches. Therefore, there’s a good chance that our final snowfall total will be in the 40s. There’s a slight chance that we could receive enough snowfall next month and into April that could push Coeur d’Alene’s seasonal snowfall total to nearly 50 inches. That would be quite a recovery since we had less than 10 inches of snow at the start of February.
