Swiss Glaciers Heading into Summer Months with 31% More Snow Cover According to a report by Glacier Monitoring Switzerland (GLAMOS), the snow cover on Swiss glaciers at the end of the 23/24 winter season is between 3-6 meters (10-20 feet) high. GLAMOS took measurements from 12 Swiss glaciers between April and May 2024. The results indicate a snow cover across the Swiss Alps of 31% more than the 10-year average snow […] Industry News Julia Schneemann | June 9, 2024 0 Comments
54 Years Worth of Satellite Data Documents Changes in the Northern Hemisphere’s Snow Cover In a new study published in the Journal of Hydrometeorology, researchers analyzed snow cover data gathered from weekly satellite flyovers from 1967 to 2021. The study was divided into sections of the northern hemisphere for analysis. Of the grids that researchers determined had reliable data, they found that snow cover is declining in nearly twice as many grids as it is […] Brains Luke Guilford | July 6, 2023 0 Comments
Current Snow Cover In The United States | Where’s It Good? | Where’s It Bad? This map is looking pretty dry and desolate, which isn’t what you want to see on the last day of November. Snow cover is relatively low in the United States right now, but that doesn’t mean that there isn’t good skiing to be had. The low levels of snow cover can be attributed to abnormally warm temperatures this fall. All too […] Weather Chris Wallner | November 30, 2017 0 Comments
Utah’s Snow Cover: This Year Vs. Last Year Nearly the entire state of Utah is covered in snow right now. Basically, the 4 corners region of Utah and the Salt Lake itself are the only regions that are snow free right now. It’s been a decent early season in Utah this year. The reason that Utah is covered in snow isn’t due to large snowfall amounts, it’s really been about the cold. The last storm to come through was damn cold and that cold storm left snow on top of nearly every square inch of Utah. In some regions of the Uintas and Wasatch, snowpack was actually deeper last year. But there is no […] Weather SnowBrains | December 11, 2013 0 Comments
Satellite Image of California’s Current Snow Cover: The state of California is currently covered in snow after a very cold storm slammed into the state on Friday and Saturday. Snow levels were confirmed as low as 300′ in the northern Sacramento Valley. This image of California’s snow cover is from the MODIS Satellite yesterday, December 8th, 2013. Our neighbors at NWS San Francisco Bay Area/Monterey made this image using MODIS satellite and […] SnowBrains | December 9, 2013 1 Comment
2011 vs 2013 Sierra Nevada Snowpack | Ouch… Rough freakin’ winter in the Sierras this year, huh? Welp, to rub it in, NOAA put this graphic together just to hurt our feelings. In reality this comparison is viciously unfair considering that 2011 was the best season we’ve had on record and 2013 is shaping up to be the worst. I suppose it’ll help us all embrace the […] SnowBrains | March 27, 2013 0 Comments
