there seems to be a bit of a discrepancy in numbers regarding how much northern NY and southern CAN will get, as well, unless i'm mentally getting my cm - inch calculations wrong.
Yesterday we passed one of those random private contractor trucks with plows that do so much work moving snow around here and she said, "That's what they need over there, more of those." I said no one in the South East would ever get one because we just got more snow in two days than London gets in an average decade.
However, it did occur to me that there are probably lots of them up in Scotland, where they actually get real snow. Sure enough, I did a search for "snowplow Scotland" and came up with this photo of one on a Defender in Perth, Scotland: https://www.flickr.com/photos/49959666@N04/6661536275
Yeah, I imagine there are disagreements about projected snow amounts, because Accuweather and The Weather Network are probably starting from National Weather Service and Environment Canada forecasts as a baseline, respectively. I'm guessing the two countries don't necessarily agree on the forecast.
My dad did research near Tioga Pass for years. He was a biologist. He worked out of a resort near the pass and one year could not start his measurements until late July, because snow.
