including extreme rainfall here because that's what causes
ice ages ... excess precipitation. If you want to know how much
snow would fall if a rainstorm should change to snow, just add
a zero. (One inch of rain - add a zero - will turn to 10 inches of
snow.) Plus, rainfall has increased so dramatically that I'm only
including accumulations of two inches or more.

California snowpack double
normal (2nd year in a row) - California's snowpack
reached 207 percent of average as of Thursday, thanks to a
very wet December, says this article in the Sacramento Bee.
The snowpack so far amounts
to 61 percent of an entire winter's average water supply,
with January and February - typically the state's wettest
months - still to come.
Snowiest December EVER in the Twin Cities -
More on the way
- Up to 6 inches of snow fell overnight,
pushing the monthly total to 33.4 inches at the
Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport and breaking the
previous December record of 33.2 inches set in 1969 - and
with two more weather systems in the offing, there's more on
the way.
One year of rain in one week - Southern California - Triggering
mudslides and flooding, the rain has prompted Gov. Arnold
Schwarzenegger to declare a state of emergency for six
counties. In Laguna Beach, a wall of water
four feet high poured through downtown, bringing with it a

temperatures in September: -11°F near Beaver Village, -10° near Chalkyitsik.
Chicken, Alaska was -5°. Bettles reached ZERO on Monday, tying the coldest
temperature ever recorded there in September. Eielson AFB near Fairbanks was
+3°, the coldest temperature they have ever had in any September (the average
low for Fairbanks now is 28°).

September snow surprise in Montana - Snow began
falling in some areas of north central Montana and along the
Rocky Mountain Front early on Friday, leaving some people
checking their calendar to see if it is still, in fact,

While snow in September is not unusual at higher elevations

Los Angeles International Airport set a record low on Friday
of only 67 degrees, breaking the previous record set in

"Instead of daytime highs approaching the mid-80s, downtown
L.A. has experienced temperatures in the mid- to high 70s,"

daytime and nighttime temperatures have averaged a
relatively cool 69.8 degrees. "
Still skiing in California - Northern California's Boreal Mountain Resort will re-open

"Almost 500 inches of snow fell this winter,
with several feet falling after Boreal closed (in April),"
said Boreal's marketing director Jon Slaughter. "We decided
since all this snow was on the mountain, it would be fun to
enjoy it for a couple days in July."
The natural snow was bulldozed into place
from other parts of the resort and groomed into a nice
smooth run.

Oregon - Record-setting rain
damages crops - Record-setting June rains and a wetter
than usual May have put farm crops at risk for disease and
pushed backed the date that fruits and vegetables will be
ready for market, says this article on KVAL news.
"It looks a lot more like March
than it looks like June," said Tom Lively of Lively
Organics. "We haven't been able to get in with tillers or
hoes because it's so muddy that it would just clump up in
the equipment."
"By Saturday, pretty much all the
melons we had planted had root rotted and died in spots,"
Lively said. "We just had big rows of dead melons."
Meanwhile, the garlic crop isn't
doing any better. A fungus - caused by the excess rain - is
destroying the garlic bulbs.

Coldest May on record for E. Idaho - Through Sunday, three all-time
record lows had been set in Pocatello this month. The low on
May 5 was 21, tying the all-time low for that day. On May 7,
it was also 21, four degrees below the previous record of
25. Another low of 30 was set May 22, two degrees below the
prior record.
The average temperature so far this May has been 48.1
degrees, a full 5 degrees below normal. Unless Sunday's and
Monday's temperatures bump that up significantly, this May
could go down as Pocatello’s coldest ever.
The coldest May ever recorded in the Gate City was in 1953,
when the month’s average temperature was 48.8 degrees.

Spring Storm Drops Record
Snowfall on Northeast - A late-season snowstorm has dumped up to two feet of
heavy, wet snow on northern New York, Vermont and New Hampshire, cutting off
power to thirty thousand and breaking records at the Burlington International
Airport on both Tuesday and Wednesday.
Mark Breen, a meteorologist at
the Fairbanks Museum and Planetarium in St. Johnsbury, says 24 inches of snow
was reported in Bellows Falls, Vermont on April 27, 1874.
"Extremely rare late April snowstorm" dumps two feet of snow on Vermont
Record snowfall in Burlington both yesterday and today
An "extremely rare late April snowstorm" dumped two feet of snow on my old
stomping grounds in Vermont yesterday, and left more than 30,000 of electric
customers without power across northern New York, Vermont, and New Hampshire.
The Burlington International
Airport reported record snowfall both Tuesday and Wednesday.
I was born and raised in Vermont, so the reports of
two feet of snow in Morrisville
and heavy snow in Calais were especially interesting to
me.
More snow today - Southwest
temps far below normal - Up to three inches of snow are forecast for the
Cascades, the Intermountain West, the Great Basin, the Sierra Nevada, and the
Rockies. Higher elevations in Vermont and New Hampshire could also see up to 3
inches of new snow. The American southwest is expected to remain 10-15 degrees
below normal.

The bulk of the snow, which could down trees branches leading to
power outages, is expected from northeastern New York
to Vermont, central and northern New Hampshire, northwestern Maine, southeastern
Quebec and northwestern New Brunswick.

Northeast Blizzard Closing
Interstates, Collapsing Roofs - The worst of the "Second
Blizzard of 2010" is dumping on the Northeast, says this
article on accuweather.com. Snowfall from southeastern
Pennsylvania to much of the New York metro area is expected
to reach 12 to 18 inches.
Stretches of I-76, I-78, I-80, I-81 and I-83 in
Pennsylvania, I-80 in New Jersey and I-64 in Virginia are
closed, and multiple roofs were failing today in Delaware
under the weight of the snow.

Snowing from northern Virginia to Connecticut - Whiteout conditions in
Washington, D.C. Blizzard warnings for New York City and
parts of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware and Maryland. Up
to 12 inches of snow expected in New York City. Thousands
remain without power from the last blizzard. Salt supplies
in Maryland dwindling.
Both Washington and Philadelphia
need about 9 more inches of snow to give them their snowiest
winters since 1884.
That should be an easy target,
because Washington is bracing a foot of snow or more, while
as much as 20 inches could again bury both Baltimore and
Philadelphia.
In West Virginia, Gov. Joe
Manchin urged people to clear the snow from the roofs of
public buildings to avoid collapse.
I just wanted to say that in 1936 we had a spell of cold and
snow. The bay in Baltimore had to have air-dropped
explosives to clear the ice for shipping. The next event I
wanted to present to you is I believe the Johnston flood was
at this time. With so many paved areas and new homes I
believe we will be in for it.
More on the way - Snowiest winter season ever
- A new snowstorm will soon hit New York City, southern New
England, and drop up to a foot of snow from Washington, D.C.
to Philadelphia yet again, says this article on
accuweather.com.
"Lower temperatures, strong winds and deep, powdery snow
could make this the worst of the two storms even in areas
that were hit hard with the last."
"From a meteorological standpoint the prospect of two
blizzards in less than a week for the same area is
absolutely amazing! Three storms delivering over a foot of
snow in one season is unheard of in some areas."
Strong winter
storm moving across central U.S. - A strong winter storm
is
forecast to continue moving east through the central United
States today, dumping
1 to 3 inches of snow on the upper Midwest, up to 5 inches
on parts of Oklahoma,
and 3 inches on the Ohio River Valley.
Major snowstorm to hit New York City on Wednesday -
(Video) According to meteorologist Joe Bastardi of
accuweather.com, a major snowstorm will hit New
York City on Wednesday, bringing blizzard conditions and 6
to 12 inches of
snow - perhaps more.

'Snowmageddon' knocks out power to half a million -
Up to 33 inches of snow had fallen in some areas of
Washington, D.C. by Saturday evening, the worst since 1922.
President Barack Obama called it "snowmageddon."
Other parts of Maryland got 3
feet, while northern Virginia, Delaware, New York and
southern New Jersey recorded more than 2 feet.
The storm toppled trees and
knocked out power to more than 500,000 customers across the
region, says Sunday's Seattle Times.
Residents of Pennsylvania, New
Jersey and West Virginiaalso were dealing with snow measured
in feet instead of inches. Philadelphia was virtually shut

Biggest snowstorm in Washington, D.C. in modern history
- A record 2 1/2 feet - or more! - is forecast for
the nation's Capitol tonight and tomorrow, says this article
on yahoo.com.
The storm comes less than two
months after a December storm dumped more than 16 inches of
snow on Washington, which has received more than a foot of
snow only 13 times since 1870.
"The heaviest on record was 28
inches in January 1922," the article continues. "The biggest
snowfall for the Washington-Baltimore area is believed to
have occurred in 1772, before official records were kept,
when as much as 3 feet fell in the Washington-Baltimore
area, an epic event George Washington and Thomas Jefferson
mentioned in their diaries."
