But temperature doesn't explain the lack of snow in December of 1979.

Only .8 of an inch of the stuff fell, an amount probably exceeded by the accumulated frost layer on auto windshields during the month. The long term average is 9.6 inches. But in that much warmer Decemper -of 1959, a hearty 15.3 inches snow fell, and 10 inches of snow fell in December of 1918. Precipitation, mainly in the form of rain, also fell behind the average, though not by as great a difference as the snowfall did. Precipitation for the month was 2.15 inches, slightly below the 2.27 inch long term average.

Shortly after midnight, several men reportedly grabbed her and dragged her toan upstairs bedroom. About six men held her down, and men came in and out of the room and sexually assaulted her during the next 10 hours. She said she was raped at least a dozen times.
