Some parts of our state are still quite soggy after a very wet winter. That's especially the case in the eastern half of North Carolina, where more rain fell than western North Carolina from December through February.
To compare climate statistics more easily, meteorologists use meteorological seasons.
Meteorological winter runs from December 1 to February 28, and during that time, the statewide average precipitation was 15.26 inches. That's just under four inches above normal.
According to the National Centers for Environmental Information and the State Climate Office of North Carolina, this past winter was the 13th wettest for the state based on data that dates back to 1895.
All of the wet weather made it seem like a chilly winter, but statewide average temperatures were 0.6 degrees above the 1901-2000 average.
Despite all the wet weather, very little snow fell outside the mountains. Charlotte had its second winter in a row with only 0.3 inches of snow.
Greensboro barely measured more than one inch, which is the least amount of snow for the Triad area since the winter of 2006-2007.
It was the third winter in a row without measurable snow for Fayetteville, Lumberton, and Wilmington.
Even though it was a snowier winter in the mountains, Boone was over a foot below normal for snowfall.
