We’re now into 2024 and it’s almost hard to believe that another year has passed. My parents always told me that when you get older, time passes more quickly. They weren’t kidding. I began my career with the Coeur d’Alene Press in 2004 and this April will mark 20 years.

Our moisture total picked up last month and December’s total for Coeur d’Alene will end up a little above-normal with 4.15 inches of rain and melted snow. The average precipitation for December is 3.90 inches. Our seasonal total for precipitation in Coeur d’Alene will be below normal levels at about 24.03 inches, compared to the average of 26.77 inches.

At the Spokane International Airport, as of late Sunday, a December precipitation total of 3.34 inches was measured, which is over an inch above average for the month. However, their annual rain and melted snowfall total for 2023 was 13.75 inches, compared to the seasonal normal of 16.45 inches.
