What is the record rate of snowfall?

You wouldn't be able to pin this kind of record down in a specific place at a specific time. But the highest snowfall rates tend to occur in the heaviest lake effect snow bands and are accompanied by thunder and lightning. This light fluffy snow can accumulate up to about 7-8" in one hour, though rarely does it last for even that long. It would be really hard, for complex physical reasons, to snow much more than that.


When was the coldest temperature ever recorded in Oregon?

Based on this page http://www.wrcc.dri.edu/cgi-bin/cliMAIN.pl?oreugn it looks like 6.5 inches fell on January 21st 1943. Followed by 5.5 inches the next day. Ok not even close! January 25 to 31, 1969 Between the 25th and 30th, snowfall records throughout Lane, Douglas, and Coos counties, were surpassed by incredible numbers. Snowfalls of 2 to 3 feet fell on the valley floors, with much heavier amounts in the higher terrain. At Eugene, a snowdepth of 34 inches was recorded on the 30th, and the total January snowfall was 47 inches, nearly 7 times the normal monthly snowfall! In1990 there was about one foot of snow, 1989 there was over a foot of snowfall.

How is snowfall mesured?

Meteorologists measure three things, says Dr. Moran: "The depth of snow that falls between successive observations, the meltwater equivalent of that snowfall and the depth of snow on the ground at observation time." Dr. Moran tells us how to measure a storm's snowfall like the experts. "Prior to an anticipated snowfall, place a simple wooden board on the ground.…New snowfall accumulates on the board, and at observation time a ruler is used to measure the snow depth to the board. Record the snowfall…and sweep the snowboard clean so that it is ready to receive new snowfall. Repeat this process throughout the snow event, and then compare your total snowfall with that reported by the local television or broadcast meteorologist. Note that snowfall is notoriously variable from one place to another with considerable differences within the District and across northern Virginia and adjacent Maryland." These differences depend upon things like temperature, the distance you are from the ocean and the track of the storm, he says.

What is the average snowfall in California?

The deepest snowfall recorded in the US was at Tamarack, California with a depth of 451 inches. I do not believe there is any place in California that has never received snow. I have even been in Death Valley when it snowed. The average snowfall over Donner Summit is about 35 feet. So California has no "average snowfall." It depends on where in California one is when asking about the average snowfall.
