The snowcover of winter 2010-11 has now officially melted at the
WeatherCam. We logged 104 consecutive days of measurable snowcover (1 inch or more), reaching a max depth of 29 inches on February 28, and ending April 9 when snowcover became a "Trace."
How does this compare to recent seasons?
Last year: 59 days; max depth 13 in.
2008-09: 106 days; max depth 27 in.
2007-08: 135 days; max depth 43 in.
2006-07: 71 days; max depth 17 in.
Our season snowfall is 92.4 inches (compared to 120.8 inches during the incredible winter of 2007-08.)
Last year our latest measurable snowfall was April 17, with 1.5 inches. Snowfall is not likely this upcoming week, so it is possible that we have seen our last measurable snowfall for the season. A return to such a wintry pattern is possible after this upcoming warm spell, but each passing day now brings longer and more direct sunlight, greatly reducing the chance of accumulating snow.
