From the Longmont Daily Times Call (Scott Rochat):

Longmont logged just 3 inches of snow for November, a quarter of its usual 12-inch tally. But a couple of early rainstorms helped keep the water coming: 0.66 inches of precipitation for the month (vs. a 0.83 average) and 13.23 inches for the year (compared to an average of 13.57.) Now the bad news: It might stay dry. For a while. “It does fit the La Niña pattern,” said Times-Call weather expert Dave Larison. “If it continues like this, we might have to be watering lawns in January or February just to keep the moisture up.”
