Considering weather conditions, 2013 had the feel of a “normal” year in Bluffton. The monthly totals provided by Guy Verhoff, Pandora weather observer for the Icon, confirm that.
Precipitation for 2013, at 41.13 inches falls in the not-too-little, not-too-much range, when compared to records back to from 2006.
Annual weather summaries from 2006 to 2013 are in an attachment at the bottom of this story.
Snowfall of 34.7 inches appears to compare to normal snowfall over the past eight years – 2006 being the exception with only 11.9 inches.
The number 100 might well describe Ada’s top stories of 2013:
Consider:
• 100-year-old Agnes Crates became Citizen of the Year,
• the Ada Farmers and Merchants Picnic celebrated its 100th year,
• the Lincoln Highway observed its 100th year.
• Zac Dysert, who plays on a 100-yard field, became a Denver Bronco. Stories and videos featuring Dysert attracted over 900 hits on the Icon.
• the Ada school levy passed by 100 + votes (actually 104 votes).
