Guessing the 2007 Peak Snow Depth
Fun with numbers
Guessing the 2007 Snow Depth
Month | Rain/Snow fall |
---|---|
Mar | 125mm |
Apr | 120mm |
May | 155mm |
Jun | 200mm |
Jul | 200mm |
Aug | 250mm |
Sep | 245mm |
All rain/snow for 06 was well below average.
March was 46% below average in 06, and snow depth was 81cm, also about 50% of the long-term average.
I'd say the March rainfall indicates the season peak depth.
Month | Mean 3PM temp | Rain/snow fall |
---|---|---|
Mar 06 | 16.2°C | 58mm |
Apr | 6.6°C | 118mm |
May | 3.6°C | 86mm |
Jun | 1.6°C | 70mm |
Jul | 1.2°C | 153mm |
Aug | 3.3°C | 110mm |
Sep | 5.7°C | 226mm |
Month | Mean 3PM temp | Rain/snow fall |
---|---|---|
Mar | 14.3°C | 145.9mm |
Apr | 12.1°C | 2mm | *Very low rainfall, and quite warm. |
From the March rainfall, I'd say the snow depth in 2007 will be (145/125 * 120) = 139.2cm.
