How much snow does Umea average per winter? Like 150 cm?

How much snow does Umea average per winter? Like 150 cm? estimated 166 cm; which he got from assuming winter precipitation was all snow; just over a 10:1 snow:liquid ratio |

How much snow does Umea average per winter? Like 150 cm? estimated 166 cm; which he got from assuming winter precipitation was all snow; just over a 10:1 snow:liquid ratio I'd say 120cm. Assuming all December, January precipitation is snow should account for snowfall in November March and April, since maybe half of December's precipitation is rain - if not more. Umeå has much less of a freeze-thaw cycle though compared to Woody Point so I'd hazard a guess there's fluffy and snowy snow more often than in Woody Point since they're more prone to large snowfalls followed by rain and high temperatures. |

Lommaren estimated 166 cm; which he got from assuming winter precipitation was all snow; just over a 10:1 snow:liquid ratio I'd say 120cm. Assuming all December, January precipitation is snow should account for snowfall in November March and April, since maybe half of December's precipitation is rain - if not more. Amherst averages not much less 104 cm; so I live in a place that gets almost as much snow as you do. Binghamton and Ithaca more than Umeå. Shows how much snowier a place with consistently cold winter looks. |

Woody Point. Better latitude (my ideal: 47N), less continental.

Woody Point. Better latitude (my ideal: 47N), less continental. how is it less continental? Annual temperature range is the same and given its lower latitude it should have less of annual range if they were equally continental |

Annual temperature range is the same and given its lower latitude it should have less of annual range if they were equally continental Woody Point is far more influenced by the sea. Much worse seasonal lag, more seabreeze, lower summer highs despite stronger sun. |

My estimation was higher based on spring accumulation, but overall I'd say anything between 145-170 cm was possible. I did discount a lot of December's precipitation as rainfall though. Also though it'd be important to consider that during easterly spells down here it can be more intense accumulation than 10:1 and that may occur sometimes in Umeå too. I remember in January 2017 there was 20 cm accumulation in one day here based upon say 12-13 mm of precipitation, and that thing came from the east over the sea.
I did a slightly more conservative estimate now though and found about 153 cm to be likely due to the marginal nature of many ice days in early winter.

Don't particularly like either climate but I far prefer Umea for being much drier and sunnier.

Woody is too wet. Umea for being drier. But it gets 230 days with precipitation? How?

Umeå for warmer springs and summers. Woody Point has an absurd amount of snowfall which would lose its novelty quickly, although I wouldn't mind spending a winter there just to see how it is. Would have thought you and others would go for Woody Point since you go for "interesting weather". People here value interesting temperatures more than interesting snow & precipitation. I don't find heat or cold that interesting though maybe if I didn't live in continental climate I'd view it differently? Not the part of Newfoundland I made a thread for, but on May 20 central Newfoundland got a foot of snow. Wonder if it was cold everywhere in eastern North America, what setup was it? www.cbc.ca/news/canada/newfoundland-labrador/nl-central-snow-1.4675739 |

checking the climate stats, Woody Point averages about 2 days of rain with more than 5 mm / day. Enough to disrupt a fluffy snowpack but not kill and turn it to ugly slush. Plus the frequent snowfall would quickly cover it.

Yeah i was looking at webcams when that snowfall event happened. Really surprising but it does happen occasionally. I think only NL was cold. That was still when Nain was solidly below freezing. |

These both suck, but Umeå is drier, and summer is warmer while winter is a carbon copy of Woody Point temp wise

Both cold end Dfbs, but I guess Umeå for less rain (even though precipitation days looks certainly boteved), less snowfall (not 6 m), likely more sunshine and less seasonal lag
