I never marked down what days we shoveled..so I was wondering is there somewhere on line that we can look up our area and see what days we got alot of snow? Taht would give me something to go on.

YES! Go to Noaa.gov website, go to contacts (on the home page), Go to the heading "Past weather", then click it and find "weather/climate events", then under the heading of Weather/Climate Data/Products, find "US storm events database". Once you get in that section, you can type in your state, county and click on snow and ice events for any period you identify. For example, if you want all of 2010, put in the parameters of 01/01/2010 to 12/31/2010 and it should bring up a list with approximate inches of snow or ice accumulation!!!! Hope this helps. It doesn't take as long as it looks to pull up your information. Good luck! Every little bit helps!

I am constantly amazed at the amount of information at our fingertips.......

I think you can collect information all the way back to the 50's. Comes in handy for attorneys working on slip and fall cases :-)

That was my error telling you records were available through end of 2010. See if your local news station has a weather blog or contact your local news weatherman and see if they can give you the data for December. They might not mind at all.
