Perhaps you have heard of the western ridge that has greatly limited the snowpack in Washington and California. In fact, one of the snowiest locations in the United States is the Paradise Ranger Station on Mt. Rainier in Washington state. Last year, over 741 inches fell from July 1, 2012 through June 30, 2013 (the official annual snowfall total).
What a difference a year makes. So far, as of this writing, only 195.6" has been deposited there. Typically, one cannot make too many comparisons to the Station's abundant snowfall seasons, except for some isolated regions in Alaska and California.
Not this year. I have seen at least 4 locations that have surpassed the Ranger Station's total thus far.
Colden NY 196.1"
Highmarket NY 202.9"
Perrysburg NY 240.5"
Hocker NY 241.7"
There's still much of the snow season ahead. Paradise Ranger Station, probably, will come out on top. But, I would not be surprised if a new U.S. Snow King is crowned for this winter. Wouldn't be something if the highest snow totals came from a location east of the Mississippi river. Now, that would be unusual.
