Sure enough, sunshine and blue skies gave way Tuesday to the all-too-familiar gray clouds and cold rain that have become mainstays in Chattanooga this winter.
Since Jan. 1, the city has received 7.82 inches of rain, according to the National Weather Service. That’s pretty close to typical.
But since Dec. 1, dreary skies have dumped 18.2 inches of rain on Chattanooga, as well a half inch of snow. And that’s not so typical – in fact, it means the city is about six inches over its normal Dec. 1-Feb. 17 rainfall total.
Not that homebuilders like Nerren Pratt needed to be told it’s been wetter than normal around here.
