As we've played the April Fool's jokes on one another and turned the bad kitty calendar to the new picture in the last few days, we're losing chances to see more accumulating snow in our area. As it stands right now (April 3, 2012) the seasonal total for snowfall in the Burlington area is:
37.7"
That's about 40" lower for the yearly average and makes it the third-least snowy season on record (so far).
I'm interested in those quotation marks. So far......
