maddmaxx ★ Posted November 6, 2019 Share #3 Posted November 6, 2019 We average 35 inches per year in this town. I'm gobsmacked that it's that low as I've seen weeks that went almost that high. We pay for it though by having more rain and less sunny days that the rest of the country. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsharr ★ Posted November 6, 2019 Share #5 Posted November 6, 2019 https://www.weather.gov/fwd/dmosnow Based on that information, Dallas has received 310 inches of snow since 1898, which averages out to 2.54 inches per year. We have had very few years( 5 total) that hit double digits of snow, but they really skewed that average upward. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prophet Zacharia Posted November 6, 2019 Share #15 Posted November 6, 2019 We get the national average in snow at 28” a year. That’s why it’s good to live south of I-80, as North of that line the lake effect kicks in, resulting in 100” in Erie just two hours away. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maddmaxx ★ Posted November 6, 2019 Share #23 Posted November 6, 2019 All I can say is that I must have missed a lot of winters where it didn't snow. A couple of years ago we were pushing for 100" on a 35" average. Wildly erotic. On the other hand, I'm south of the snow belt line through CT from southwest to northeast so sometimes we get little and the northern part of the state gets a lot more.

sheep_herder ★ Posted November 6, 2019 Share #33 Posted November 6, 2019 Foothills make a big difference, even in our area. Folks are sometimes disappointed when they do not read the forecast close enough and think we are going to get 5" on the flat, when that is actually forecast for the foothills. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Further Posted November 6, 2019 Share #34 Posted November 6, 2019 Google says 35, but the occasional big storm, years apart, with a foot or so of accumulation, skew the average a good bit. I haven't taken the snow shovel out of the shed in a few years...I'm OK with that and hope I didn't just jinks myself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
