Daily News | As the window for snow closes, here’s 713 inches that Philly missed
Even the computer models have stopped hallucinating about snow as the region makes a seamless transition to the thunderstorm season.
As of Friday, 713 inches of snow had been documented at the Donner Pass site — its second-snowiest season on record — or about 2,400 times more than the 0.3 inches Philadelphia has received as it calls it a winter. Measurements are taken twice a day, at 8 a.m. and 4 p.m., atop a snow board, which is cleaned off for the next batch assault. The tubes and scales are used to weigh the snow to estimate water content, which is critical since the snowpack is a reservoir for so many Californians.So much for the drought?
