Having received 115 percent of its average annual
snowfall total so far this season, the mountain expects to offer skiing and riding on all four mountain faces, including more than 100 features over
at Carinthia Parks for as long as the weather cooperates.
In western Tibet, annual
snowfall totals have risen steadily since the 1990s, especially
at higher elevations, as strengthening westerly winds bring more precipitation.
Methodology:
total snowfall is over the period from July - June in areas which average
at least 10 inches of snow per year.
Figure 7 says something about differences in
total fall, and that might argue toward a change in
snowfall at different locations but it doesn't point to an increase in actual snow fall.
The paper actually talks about
total snowfall, not extent and it does point out that it is autumn sea ice extent that is the important factor, whereas Willis has looked
at total annual sea ice area and snow extent as opposed to
total fall.
Snowfall varies across the region, comprising less than 10 % of total precipitation in the south, to more than half in the north, with as much as two inches of water available in the snowpack at the beginning of spring melt in the northern reaches of the river basins.81 When this amount of snowmelt is combined with heavy rainfall, the resulting flooding can be widespread and catastrophic (see «Cedar Rapids: A Tale of Vulnerability and Response»).82 Historical observations indicate declines in the frequency of high magnitude snowfall years over much of the Midwest, 83 but an increase in lake effect snowfall.61 These divergent trends and their inverse relationships with air temperatures make overall projections of regional impacts of the associated snowmelt extremely di

The greatest monthly
snowfall totals in North Carolina and Virginia were recorded
