Norfolk’s April 2014 Weather
Another Transition Completed By Russell Russ As is usually the case in April, winter finally released its firm hold and spring’s warmth slowly came into the picture. Very similar to last year, April began winter-like and then gradually warmed up. We started the month with nine inches of snow on the ground, and all ponds […]
Norfolk’s March Weather
Strange Weather Month By Russell Russ Winter held spring back this March. The continued cold winter temperatures were near record breaking levels, but what was really unusual was the lack of rain and snow for most of the month. After a snowy December through February period, it was odd to have such a snow-free March. […]
Norfolk’s February Weather
Eighth Snowiest on Record By Russell Russ Old Man Winter made his presence known in December, established himself in January and decided to stick around through February. No temperature records were broken, but it was a cold month. And then there was the snow. Again not record shattering, just regular and steady snowfalls […]
Norfolk’s January Weather
Good Old-Fashioned Winter By Russell Russ In 2014 the weather station began its eighty-third year of continuous weather observation and the year started off with Old Man Winter showing us what he’s made of. January is on average our coldest and snowiest month, and it was true to form this year. Three days this […]
Norfolk’s December Weather and a Yearly Summary for 2013
Fairly average December closes out fairly average year By Russell Russ Up to the third week of the month it looked like we would have a colder than average December. A few warm days just before Christmas, including two back to back record warm days, changed all that. The high of 59 degrees on December […]
Norfolk’s October Weather
A calm weather month By Russell Russ With little rain, no big storms and just a touch of cold air it was rather warm and mostly dry this month. After last October’s effects from Hurricane Sandy and nearly two feet of snow the October before that, it was a nice to be treated gently by […]
Norfolk’s September Weather
A Beautiful Autumn By Russell Russ Autumn treated us well this year. After a wet start it turned quite warm, then transitioned into a two-week stretch of nice fall weather. There were three, maybe four or five, scattered frosts in the area this month, but none were observed at the weather station. The growing season […]
Norfolk’s August Weather
Summer Ends On The Cool Side By Russell Russ The summer season came to a close with August’s exit. It was not the greatest summer month on record by far and not as nice as August 2012, but all in all you could not call it too bad. It was cooler than normal and nearly […]
Norfolk’s July Weather
Warmest Month on Record By Russell Russ July 2013 was a record breaker across New England. Many locations experienced their warmest month ever. The same was said after July 2012, but that month came in at only Norfolk’s seventh warmest. This year, however, Norfolk was not to be left out. Monthly averages for Stamford, Bridgeport, […]
Norfolk’s June Weather
Wettest June and Fifth Wettest Month on Record By Russell Russ We all thought May was a wet month. Then June came in and nearly doubled May’s rainfall total. It was the wettest June and the fifth wettest month in the last 82 years here in Norfolk. The previous June record was topped by June […]
