There was measurable precipitation on nine days with inches on the 24th as the greatest storm. Light snow occurred on only two days and we were much below average for the month. February was of a degree warmer than normal, making it the fourth warm month in succession. The recent trend has shown that January and February have been considerably colder in the past 10 years than the old 30 year average (1930-60) that we have been using. In comparison with the past 10 year period, the current winter has been even warmer than most of us reahze. We have not had the period November through February with above normal temperatures since 1960. We produced a record crop in 1960 but it was not a very large crop when compared to our last five years. In general, the years following warm winters have had problems with quality. These are not predictions, only observations. Maximum temperature for the month was 55 degrees on the 3rd and minimum 4 degrees on the 11th. Warmer than average days were the lst-3rd, 27th and 28th. Cooler than average periods were the 5th, 6th and 8th through I 3th. Precipitation totaled inches, which is just over two inches above normal. This was the seventh wettest February in our records.
