Significant snow came in December with several inches falling on the 6th. This snow was reinforced several times over the next couple weeks, leaving a measurable level of snow on the ground until December 20. The snow was melted by a rapid and very significant increase in temperature. This was coupled with a ferocious rain event bringing several inches of additional liquid causing some flooding.
The combination of ground snow and overall weather did not create the typical sinusoidal day-night temperature swings typically seen. Reily had the first incidence of below zero temperatures in quite some time (since before the Reily Weather Station was set up). December winds in Reily picked up with very high winds associated with the time period after the heavy rains.
