What's it doing where?

GW8345

Not White House Approved
And you guys got what, 4"? That's cute.

"Snow from the latest storm began falling Thursday evening in Durango. Up to a foot is predicted in Durango, and Wolf Creek Pass could see 4 feet."

From the Durango Herald.

Wolf Creek Pass elevation 10,856 ft MSL
Durango Co. elevation 6,512 ft MSL
Town Creek MD elevation 16 ft MSL

One would think that a place that two thousand miles away from the warm waters of the Atlantic Ocean and being almost 2 miles above sea level with the average snowfall of 64 inches (Durango Co.) would get a hell of a lot more snow then a place that is only 16 ft MSL and right on the coast of the Chesapeake Bay and within 45 miles of the Atlantic Ocean that only has an average snowfall of 17.8 inches.

BTW, the average snowfall for Wolf Creek Pass Co. - 430 inches (natural)

Has not been a great year for the snow pack so far. All below average especially West of the Rockies.
