US Snow Monitoring Snowfall Maps

[snowshoe]

As someone who loves geography and snow I'm always looking new snowfall maps. Knowing the local variations of snowfall of not only the most recent storm but also the storm a few weeks or even a month prior can have a huge impact on trail conditions. I found this cool map that shows historical snowfall data over the U.S. Take a quick look at the help by clicking on the questions mark on the upper right side to learn the different features. You can search by date, date range or the RSI snowstorms. RSI snowstorms is the Regional Snowfall Index which is a way the use to rank storm severity. Enjoy!

Nice find! I sure would like to see a neon violet or fire engine red dot over the northern Keweenaw a few times this season!

This one from NOAA is pretty good. Similar to the previous one, it can be sliced and diced in a myriad of ways.

Finally a way to get season totals for the area you ride so you can compare it to previous years or other areas. Nice!!!
