Allentown's total snow for the month, so far

[LVwxHistorian]

 

  So far Allentown has gotten 29.2" this month, just shy of 1983's  29.5" , which I'm sure we'll surpass in the coming days.  Not sure if we'll reach the 36.5" that fell in Feb 2014 or the record 42.9 in 2010.

what?   The epic snow storm on Jan 31 to Feb 1 was over 29 in  of snow with 7  in on Jan 31 and 22.4 in on Feb 1 .  We have had almost 45 in of snow thus far this year.  If you count Jan 31 evening snow total, we are getting closer to 2014 snow amount for February.  Thats way more realistic to me. To technically cut off snow totals for February 1 at midnight in the middle of a historic snowstorm really does not paint the entire picture of how much it has really snowed in February.

 

To hit 50 in of snow for the entire winter is big deal in any given year here in LV. I think we have a decent shot this year to hit that mark.

You could count Sunday evening's snow for January AND February and get more bang for your snowbuck. But I know what you mean.

just think 50 inches this year is 10 times as much snow as we had last year. How can a municipality budget for snow removal with that type of extreme?

Well I'm sorry sir, that's how totals are tabulated.  You can add another 4.5" for Jan 31st. 

Feb 2014 doesn't tell the whole story either:  44.7 fell in 32 days(jan to feb)
