Norfolk’s October 2016 Weather
Drought Conditions Intensify By Russell Russ It’s all about the numbers. As we get closer to year’s end all eyes will be on the year’s weather statistics. The year of 2016 has a very good chance of ranking very high in two weather categories. Unless weather patterns change drastically before the end of the […]
Norfolk’s September 2016 Weather
Drought Drags On By Russell Russ Our last few Septembers have been weather record setters. In 2014 it was the driest and in 2015 it was the warmest. The warm and dry conditions that we have seen all summer long continued through September this year. The warmth lasted well into the third week of the […]
Norfolk’s August 2016 Weather
Second Warmest August on Record By Russell Russ August was another warm and sunny summer month for Norfolk. If you like warm, sunny weather with little rain, then this summer has to rank way up there near the top for beautiful weather conditions. August of 2016 was very similar to August of 2015, except […]
Norfolk’s July 2016 Weather
Sunny and Warm By Russell Russ July is typically the warmest month of the year for Norfolk, and this year was no exception. With a majority of warm and sunny days it was a very nice summer month. The downside of that is our increasing rainfall deficit. We are getting just enough rain to […]
Norfolk’s June 2016 Weather
A Growing Rainfall Deficit By Russell Russ June was a dry month. In fact, it was tied with 1984 as Norfolk’s seventh driest June over the past 85 years. Last year’s June, in contrast, was the fifth wettest June on record and was the wettest month in 2015. This year, the June rainfall amount […]
Norfolk’s May 2016 Weather
From Cool and Raw to Hot and Humid By Russell Russ This May was about average for weather. It was very unlike May 2015, which was near record dry and far and away the warmest May on record. This year the month started out cool and cloudy, and many days had that early spring […]
Norfolk’s Weather— April 2016
Springtime Snow and Cold By Russell Russ April’s weather was statistically fairly normal. Following a warm February and very warm March, one would have almost expected to be swimming in Tobey Pond by mid-April, but that was not the case. April’s temperatures began on a record warm note then quickly cooled off to near-record […]
Norfolk’s Weather—March 2016
Record Low Winter-Season Snowfall By Russell Russ This winter’s unusual and relatively snowless pattern continued through March. Temperatures were well above normal for most of the month. Record warmth on March 9 and 10 cleared the remaining ice from most local lakes and ponds, which was over five weeks earlier than last winter. For […]
Norfolk’s February 2016 Weather
A One Month Winter Season? By Russell Russ Winter finally arrived this month, bringing with it a near-average amount of snowfall and briefly some very cold temperatures. Unlike last year’s snowy deep freeze of a month, this year gave us just a taste of what normal February weather should be. Even with a brief […]
Norfolk’s January 2016 Weather
Winter Weather Still on Hold By Russell Russ Unlike our previous two Januarys, January 2016 came and went without much in the way of winter weather. It was warmer than normal and snowfall was well below normal. It just seemed that winter was on hold. Our last two Januarys had above average snowfall and […]
