Weather – February 2009
Interesting – first month since Feb 2007 that it didn’t get above freezing. Or it did, but it was frozen by the time I got home and made my observations. So nevermind. Anyway, one thing is for sure – we now have more snow than we’ve had since I started making these observations. And I’m pretty sure it’s the highest snow cover since I moved to Loos, and now even the locals are saying that we have a lot of snow. In a place which is used to snow, I guess that’s a lot then.
Things you never thought you’d hear me say: I think we have enough snow now. For one thing, my snow meter is only graded to 80 cm so I’ll have to start improvising if we get more. And secondly, spring would be nice. Flowers. Green. Summer.
Observations missing for 3 days, it was cold and snowing during those days.
