yet you posted the snowiest photos of the forum. what does Mount Seymour or other north shore peaks have? Mt Seymour (where I went most of the time) has received 505.5 cm so far. Pretty sure baba hasn't gotten that much yet.  But damn, his snow is impressive even for Umeå. How much snow did he get? How’d you know he got a lot? |

I'd estimate our snow total to be about 120cm right now. About 40cm snow that's melted, and 60-70cm on the ground right now, with maybe 10-20cm of snow compression in total.

Surprised nobody selected serafina yet. She has been complaining about the frigidity for quite some time there.

I voted for Speagles84; looks like he's been having an epic season so far. Watch me get the least snow out of anybody in the poll. Except maybe Crunch41 who lives in Wisconsin's Miami  |

Babu After your recent snows how much snow has Umea had now? I'm up to 133cm as of this morning, probably adding 6-8cm today and tonight

With this coastal storm and another potential snow later next week, Nei could come into the picture.

Babu After your recent snows how much snow has Umea had now? I'm up to 133cm as of this morning, probably adding 6-8cm today and tonight Depends on how you count. We've had over 200mm of precipitation fall as snow, but we never got more than 74cm of snow depth. A place near Umeå called Nordanbäck got 60mm of precipitation in one day at -10'C but the snow depth only increased by like 10cm or something like that because the snow got compressed almost as quickly as it fell. That's probably why Sweden doesn't measure snowfall, because it's really very pointless and impossible to measure in a reliable and meaningfull way. Did Nordanbäck have 10cm or 60cm of snow that day? |

I don't have 133cm on the ground! Only 30cm right now. The 133cm is the total for the year.
I still think measuring snowfall is useful - even in Sweden. It shows which area gets the most snow, sure places in the arctic get 100cm of annual snowfall and the snowdepth remains 50cm the entire winter versus areas further to the south that get much more annual snow (maybe 250cm for example) and still average the same 50cm the entire winter. Clearly the place further south is snowier.

Of course I know you never had anywhere near 133cm on the ground. My point is if 60mm water equivalent snow can fall on one day and only count as 10cm of snowfall, then it's a pretty meaningless measurement. Umeå doesn't have 133cm of total snowfall if snowfall is measured by adding up daily snow accumulation, but I'm certain that Umeå has had significantly more snowfall regardless. I think that if snowfall is to be measured, it should be measured in water equivalence and not in height. |

You're saying the Kuchera ratio skews "total snowfall" due to varying amounts of air, water in the snow - understandable. |
