Snow total was 50"+ lower than our average winters in Fort Kent, but 3 March storms totaling 25" lifted the depth to a respectable 36", only 2" below the 9-year average peak. Yeah I guess at your latitude especially and even his you can have a deep snowpack and be below average for YTD snowfall. That would almost never happen here.

That would almost never happen here. In 1980 I was living at 47.13° N and averaged 133"/yr. Now it's 44.39° and 89". The snowfall/retention ratio works both ways - last winter I had 111% of average snow but only 2/3 of average SDDs. Max depth was 22" compared to average max of 29. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
