And 1992 - just wow!<br />Richard Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08313902028896263276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4572286363399496963.post-59763266834383814902017-04-17T19:37:27.763-08:002017-04-17T19:37:27.763-08:00Richard,

I've updated the post to include histograms of the date of occurrence and the magnitude of the snowiest week.

So it seems that the amount of snow in the snowiest week scales with the seasonal snowfall total; and this points to a robust type of persistence in snowfall amounts throughout the season. I wouldn't have expected that either.<br /><br />I'm curious what the earliest and latest dates for snowiest week are (if you care to look it up).<br />Richard Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08313902028896263276noreply@blogger.com
