Galeton Weather Report For March 2025
March 2025 was as usual an interesting March weather month. I will once again use the quote, “March is like a Model T Ford. Just enough spring to make your butt ache”. You have heard me say that often but it applies this year as well. Morning temperatures started off cold, 12 degrees on the 2nd. It warmed up for a warm morning on the 31st 53 degrees. Morning temperatures were mainly in the mid 20’s. Afternoon temperatures warmed up to the 60’s and 70’s on the last few days of the month.
Throughout the month we had some strong winds with damaging winds on the 6th and 7th. Many trees came down all over the area. Thousands lost electric power.Parts of Galeton were without electricity for 18 hours. I recorded damaging winds on 3 mornings. Two days thunder was heard. We had a trace of snow on the ground five days and fog three mornings.
This year we received 2.50″ of rainfall and .04″ of snow. Last year the readings were 3.1″ of rain and melted snow with a total snowfall of 3″. It was another dry month. There you have it!With the very warm and rain the last few days of the month the grass is starting to get green and some early flowers are coming out. Get the mowers out but keep the shovels ready too. You all know the common saying,”April showers bring May flowers.
