This 1848 "Sketch showing the actual elevation of the Snow Line in different Latitudes" by Alexander Keith Johnston shows the snow lines of mountains in America, Europe and Asia. In addition, the relative location to the nearest coastline can influence the elevation of the snow line.
Map showing the snowbelts around the Great Lakes of North America with 150 cm (60 in) accumulations or more during winter. The Snowbelt, Snow Belt, Frostbelt, or Frost Belt [1] is the region near the Great Lakes in North America where heavy snowfall in the form of lake-effect snow is particularly common. [2]
The average snow to liquid ratio across the contiguous United States is 13:1, meaning 13 inches (330 mm) of snow melts down to 1 inch (25 mm) of water. [11] The El Niño-Southern Oscillation affects the precipitation distribution, by altering rainfall patterns across the West, Midwest, the Southeast, and throughout the tropics. [12] [13] [14] [15]
They, then picked up 22.6 inches of snow on Black Friday, alone, their record heaviest calendar-day snow. Their 59 inches of seasonal snow is the most of any season through Dec. 12 on record, over ...
The northernmost tree line roughly follows the isotherm at the boundary of this region. [3] The climate of the region is known to be intensely cold during the year due to its extreme polar location. [5] The area has tundra, Arctic vegetation, [3] glaciers, and, for most of the year, is covered in thick blankets of snow and ice. [5]
The storm also traveled across southern Ontario dumping about 12 inches (30 cm) of snow throughout the entire Quebec City-Windsor Corridor. South of the snow line, the storm produced a significant ice storm across western New York, near the Rochester region and the Genesee Valley where numerous power failures were reported.
The January 5–6, 2025 United States blizzard was a significant and expansive winter weather event that produced blizzard conditions across the High Plains, [2] as well as a long swath of accumulating snow and ice storm to the eastern half of the United States in early January 2025.
Snowfall in parts of the north-central U.S. has been running below average so far this season, but there are a couple of cities that stand out and might be America's most unusual "snow hole".
