a big Gulf snowstorm dumped 6 inches of snow at Brownsville, Texas, 15 inches at Galveston, Texas, and 24 inches at Rayne, Louisiana in 24 hours. Snow fell at the very mouth of the Mississippi River. Houston, Texas recorded 22 inches of snow and 9 inches blanketed New Orleans, Louisiana.


Ok Texans and Louisiana folks.....all together now:

And that used up our snow quota for at least 2 centuries I think!!!! I've seem pictures of it. It was incredible!!! Looked like drifts in the 3'-5' range in some places too!!!

If we had a storm like that here now I swear the region would shut down for the Winter!!! :lol:

I can't see the lake itself, but I can see the storm clouds rising from time to time. I am almost afraid of what this winter will bring, as it is already as cold as #_(%*^_ here.

Yes, I am talking about Lake Ontario...but east of Lake Erie they get about the same, maybe a little bit less than Lake ONtario, since Erie tends to freeze somtimes inhibiting LES, but still a ton of snow...

And the beauty of that is you can live in Phoenix and never have to shovel it or clean off your car, but in a few short hours you're in a winter wonderland.

I'll go ahead and post my average over the past couple of years.

0.0"

Hopefully we'll get a little more than that this winter.

According to what I am finding online, Houston, TX actually does have an average annual snowfall. 0.4". Well if that is true, then I guess the last few years have been below normal. I haven't seen 0.4" of snow in Houston since I moved here in 2005** and other than south Houston during Christmas 2004, I do not think any of the reporting stations in metro Houston have picked up an amount greater than a "trace" since 1989's 1.7" snowfall.

** = I have seen sleet a couple of times and one freezing rain event, but neither of those count as "snow", IMO.

Wow, this is quite the blast from the past! Over four years old . . .


For Albany, we average 60-65" a year (Extreme's link says 63.9, which sounds about right).

Back in Virginia, well . . . I'd rather not say, but it sure isn't 60".

Denver, CO...60.7''...although it varies a great deal it seems... Most of the seasons in the past 15 years have been well below. With the exceptions of last year, 02-03, and 97'-98 winter...many featured years of 30-ish inches. Average for the past ten years is actually 53.7. Last year we got 72(at Stapleton site)...but then they only recoded 20.1 in the blizzard and I had 27 at my place...so who knows. The tricky thing about Denver is that snowfall varies a good deal by which section of the metro you live in. I have seen 8 inch differences in accum within 12 miles of each other.

I guarantee 12 miles east of here they frequently get 8 inches more than me. :P

Salt Lake City's average is 57.8 inches, although it's probably about 10 inches higher where I live.
