The norm...

The system we are in now is our normal weather system.
Sunday night it started snowing with the temp around 30-32 and about 2-3 inches accumulated. By 9pm we were above freezing and sometime during the night it began to rain. It has been raining ever since. I think what happened is that we had a low coming in offshore and a big front of rain. The snow came off of the bow of that front, and when the rest of the ship arrived it bumped the temp up and let the rain begin. I am guessing the low swung north of us to block out any cold air because it has been in the 40s since early Mon morning.
In conclusion, it seems that the 2008 Winter blizzard was a fluke.
