Posted by Fred Steiner on Thursday, January 2, 2014

Considering weather conditions, 2013 had the feel of a “normal” year in Bluffton. The monthly totals provided by Guy Verhoff, Pandora weather observer for the Icon, confirm that.

Precipitation for 2013, at 41.13 inches falls in the not-too-little, not-too-much range, when compared to records back to from 2006.

Annual weather summaries from 2006 to 2013 are in an attachment at the bottom of this story.

Snowfall of 34.7 inches appears to compare to normal snowfall over the past eight years – 2006 being the exception with only 11.9 inches.
