In addition, the analysis includes the record
highest snow depth in each city on Christmas Day.

But Antarctica is an enormous,
high continental landmass covered almost entirely by a huge
depth of ice and
snow, and it keeps itself cold very effectively.
We will continue our 3D
higher - order flow modeling of the glacier, specifically to help us constrain a
depth - age relationship for the core to help assess
snow accumulation rates.
This can be attributed to the shallower
snow depth (only slightly more than half of previous year) leading to faster growth, i.e.,
higher ice production.
In principle a similar situation could arise at lower latitudes at
high elevations in the Rocky Mountains, although most models project a widespread decrease of
snow depth there (Kim et al., 2002; Snyder et al., 2003; Leung et al., 2004; see also Box 11.3).
But it's worth noting that though still much diminished from typical
snow depth totals, the present range is now
higher than the driest years — 2014 - 2015 and 1976 - 1977.
