2013 Climate Review

• When Dennis Todey, SDSU State Climatologist reflects on the blizzard and other weather events of 2013 he said it was a year that stands out in recent memory.
• "2013 provided some huge contrasts to the drought year of 2012 across the state," Todey said. "For example, the October blizzard dropped a very large amount of moisture during a usually dry time of year."
