You're probably right but it could also be in the Catskills. I've heard rumors of some impressive snow depths after a string of Nor' Easters down that way. Hopefully we can track down this stat.

BuffaloWeather Posted February 21, 2019 Author Share Posted February 21, 2019 lol Tamarack, California, also holds the United States record for greatest snow depth ever measured. A maximum snow depth of 451 inches, or 37.5 feet, was recorded on March 11, 1911. The record monthly snowfall in January of that year helped contribute to the record depth. Burt researched locations outside the United States and found that an even greater snow depth of 465.4 inches was measured Feb. 14, 1927, on Mount Ibuki in Japan (Honshu Island).

I think Japan is probably the snowiest place on the planet. They have an incredibly ideal setup to get ocean effect snow for virtually weeks on end with incredible elevation to boot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloWeather Posted February 21, 2019 Author Share Posted February 21, 2019 Highest I've seen personally is around 55" back in Nov 2014. Don't think that will ever get beaten for me. Hit 44" back in 2001. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny this I’ve recorded at least a trace of snow for the last 9 days and it’s amounted to 10.6 inches, half of which (5.7 inches) fell on 2/13. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WNash Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 1 hour ago, BuffaloWeather said: I love chasers like that. As long as they are not getting in the way of emergency vehicles I am all for it. Those videos inside the eye wall are some of the most incredible videos on the internet. I do agrees, its better to attach a few cameras to concrete objects that won't blow away and coming back and getting the video. But I would love to be in the middle of a 100 MPH gusts. I'm an adrenaline junkie, sky dived and bungee jumped. We're all going to end up in the same place eventually, mine as well go out with a bang instead of dying a slow death by cancer in a hospital. That's my biggest fear on this planet. It's not for everybody, and definitely not for me, but I respect the honesty. I get more annoyed when thrillseekers pretend that they're doing storm chasing for science or whatever. In some cases, the videos can be useful for storm analysis. Morgerman spends big for travel and for equipment. Undoubtedly he gathers data that can't be obtained elsewhere and there is no way that selling his videos comes close to making that money back - he reminds me a bit of Richard Dreyfuss' character Hooper in Jaws, who owns his own damn scientific research vessel because he has $$$. But fundamentally people are doing it for the thrills, and it takes a lot of ego to say otherwise (and Morgerman, who without met training claims to "reanalyze" historic storms, always to lower them below the level of storms he has personally experienced, does not lack for ego).

They have perfect OES parameters, with prevailing NW flow over a mile deep sea constantly warmed by a current from the south, and orography that has a rise of 1500 meters over 15 miles. Look at this - Google street view from May 2013 showing a dense snowpack of three feet or so, after months of melt. It looks like a glacier. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting up into the cloud structures definitely has benefits. Twister is still one of my favorite movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Full of very dated cultural references, the science is pretty dubious and the climactic scene in the barn is just ridiculous, but it is a blast and I'll watch it any time it's on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloWeather Posted February 21, 2019 Author Share Posted February 21, 2019 This winter has been more La Ninaish compared to El nino. Usually we do better in Eastern lakes in El Nino and western lakes do better with La nina. I believe the Nino was too weak to even have any contributions on the pattern.

BuffaloWeather Posted February 21, 2019 Author Share Posted February 21, 2019 Maybe we will get our Weak nino next year. The MJO kind of screwed everything up and that SE ridge that is typical of LA nina was way more pronounced then it should have. It's anti Nino.

Yep, it's tough to chase the strongest tornadoes. The satellite tornadoes that form in them are literally impossible to predict. You have to be a mile away at least to be safe from those. What's funny is I met my next door neighbor yesterday for first time and she's huge into weather. She's going tornado chasing in Oklahoma with a tour company in May. I've yet to find someone besides Devin with the same enthusiasm for weather I have. Got lucky with this neighbor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
