The National Weather Service says the eastern half of the state from the Canadian border to Montauk will see
the highest snowfall totals, with the higher regions of the North Country and eastern Long Island getting up to 12 inches.
In western Tibet, annual
snowfall totals have risen steadily since the 1990s, especially at
higher elevations, as strengthening westerly winds bring more precipitation.
The geologists found that, although temperatures were cool in the range of 19,000 - 23,000 years ago, conditions were also relatively dry, so the glaciers did not regain the size they had obtained several thousand years earlier, when rain and
snowfall totals were
higher.
We're in deep — with some of the deepest snow in North America right in our backyard - this season kicked into
high gear with record setting early snow — our
total snowfall to date is over 14 ft with over 45 cms of fresh pow in the last week!
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
