Sunny Bank's Weather
March, 1999
This page is a chronicle of Sunny Bank's Weather. It is designed to give those living outside Gaspe a peek at local conditions, and help we Gaspesians remember what our weather has been like. It will likely help settle many friendly arguments. I'll attempt to update this page frequently, with daily reports including temperature, cloud cover and precipitation. (Note: 1 inch = 25 mm or 2.5 cm)
Historical Note: Gaspe's snowfall record for the month of March is 186.9 cm, set in 1971. As of March 19, 1999, we have received 155 cm of snow and 50 mm of rain. Well on our way to breaking the record! (later; we didn't set any records!)
