This is a Fascinating Map
The average amount of snow after the first spring 70° temperature each year.
I wouldn't have guessed so much.
More Flooding Plus a Tornado Risk in California
More heavy rain (snow in the mountains) forecast. Rains have already begun over the southern two-thirds of the state. See 3:15pm radar below. In addition, there is small risk of a tornado, especially tomorrow morning, in coastal areas of Southern California, shown in dark green.
Seems like often the "after 70 degree" spring snowstorms often come pretty late (here in Kansas) as well. I can remember some in April. And I still have photos on Facebook from March 30th, 2009 big snow - well after 'first day of spring'. You never know, with Kansas! :-)
ReplyDeleteGee, what a surprise. 12+ inches on average after the 1st 70 degree day in NE Colorado. For that matter, most of the high plains.
ReplyDeleteChinook (strong downslope) = 70 degree weather in Feb/Mar.
Strong low pressure in KS plus a cold front = strong upslope = heavy snow in NE Colorado.
KDEN average snow: Mar: 10.7" Apr: 6.8" May: 1.1". So it adds up.
