SPECIAL: 2014 Year In Review

The winter was colder and snowier than normal. As the harsh cold lasted through March and into Early April. Then May and June were nice with average rain and comfy temps. July was marked by the close passage of Hurricane Arthur on July 4th and  he EF3 tornado that hit Revere late in the month. Fall started dry before a wetter pattern developed by late in the year.
