There were 21 days with snow or sleet falling here in 2005; the highest
number in any year since 1987 when there were 23.
The average number for the years 1971 - 2000 was 17.0 days but the average
for the years 1988 - 2005 is 10.4. The highest annual total was in 1979
which had 40, 1986 had 37.

Since 1988 only 2 years have had more than the 1971 - 200 average - these
were 1996 and 2005.
