Snowpocalypse 2025

15 years ago, there was Snowmageddon 2010. About 8 years after that, we got Snowpocalypse 2018. Last night, 7 years and a couple weeks later, we have Snowpocalypse 2025.

It’s a bit sketchy with n=3, but this almost seems like a trend.

It started a bit later than I expected based on the forecasts. Closer to the coast this year’s snow event started with sleet but further inland it started with ice pellets falling at the house.

A couple hours later, it was a full on snow that went through most of the night.

By the time I got up this morning, the snow had stopped and there was a pretty significant accumulation of the stuff on the ground. There wasn’t quite as much as Snowpocalypse 2018, but still considerably more than we typically get (which is none).

A ruler stuck into the snow just off the relatively sheltered front porch showed just about 3.5 cm of snow and ice accumulation.

There was a little more on top of the car, probably because it was higher and a bit more out in the open, and catching a bit more snow and ice being blown around and off the roof.

Further out in the driveway, I suspect there would be a similar amount.
