What Was the Deepest Snow in Your State?

Before you look it up take a guess as to which state has the highest recorded snow fall. I bet you wont get the right answer.

Answer will be later.

River

SWAG (scientific wild ass guess): Alaska or Colorado

They were up there in the top but not Number 1.

Good guess.

River

Some place in Vermont?

I did not look it up.

Wrong side of the country,

Number 1, California, A tall mountain range downwind of a huge ocean makes a snow magnet. Tamarack, on the west slopes of the Sierra Nevada, holds the U.S. snow depth record of 451 inches set March 11, 1911. Image: A woman measures a massive snowbank in Truckee on March 27, 2011

Who would have guesses that, not me, but it does make sense when you think about it, the Sierra Nevada range goes up to 11,000 feet.

When you go through the list look at where the states are and you see that the top are in the Sierra Nevada's.

River

That's my water

Brings to mind the old Donner Party, pass the Peterson liver, please.

California is God's Golden State !

If only we could shake of the rest of the United STATES of America.

Those <doom> Federals < Darth Vadar breath sounds> consistently suck more tax money from us Californians then they deliver in spending.

That's Silly Wild Assed Guess. SWAG

There is NOTHING Scientific about it. Pinning Scientific to it is an insult to science. This is another example of the fundamentalist PROPAGANDA that has man and dinosaurs co-existing like that "Museum of Creation" SHIT in Kentucky claims. It is a bunch of Bible-thumping HICKS who wouldn't learn science if you beat them with a science textbook.

(I would have guessed Sault St. Marie... (http://www.saultstemarie.com/) ... but I would be wrong.)

River, the climate of California is the SAME climate that Plato describes as existed in Atlantis, an island continent with snowy mountains and tropical beaches. I seriously DOUBT that Santorini ever saw snow.

Weird, isn't it?

This is the weather thread, if you want it closed just post one more insult or political comment.

River digging out of the snow.

Where amongst the EA membership is the blizzard?

I read one is coming across from Colorado to Kansas this weekend.

And a new one in the North - North East above Bob3.

Don't those blizzards know why we have a State of Minnesota (fill those lakes) and Wisconsin?
