Truckee California checks in at an average of 211 inches a year, and it’s about double that fifteen minutes away in all directions.
It sure does, but gets no national news attention.
that snow melt water doesn’t flow to the pacific.
It doesn’t flow to the gulf of california via the colorado.
where it looks like it just flows to the desert and dries up.
but that can’t be. what happens to all the snow melt on the east side of the sierra nevadas since most of it doesn’t flow south to the colorado river
Billings is not representative of ‘snow country’ Montana.
I live in Bozeman and we have had LOTS of snow this year.
Our growing season is 45 days shorter than Billings - where they can play golf almost year around. Here our golf courses have cross country skiing tracks laid down upon the fairways.
Overall it’s an indication of how much snow we have had this season.
From the story Billings got 0.1” of snow while we had 6” at our house...
Nevertheless the Nokian Hakkapeliitta’s come off at 9:00 and 11:00 - take that, winter!
