NBM Snow Accumulation At North America Ski Resorts

Browse all North American ski resorts for their recent and forecasted probabilistic hourly snow accumulation and running totals.

The first chart shows the accumulated snow during each hour. If the 90% probability line shows 10mm, there's a 90% chance that the actual snowfall will be less than or equal to this value.

The second chart shows the running total of accumulated snow for the whole time range for each of the probability levels.

The third chart shows the accumulated precipitation (rain or snow) for each hour.

The fourth chart shows the probabilistic snow level during each hour. The NBM Snow Level is determined from the wet-bulb zero level, which is the lowest level in a sounding at which the wet-bulb temperature is 0°C. It is the level at which snow transitions into rain. The units are meters above mean sea level. If a location's elevation is higher than the given snow level, then the user should interpret that the snow level is at the surface. If the 95% probability line shows a snow level of 2,200 meters, it means there is a 95% chance the snow level will be at or below 2,200 meters. The resort's height above mean sea level is populated from the HRRR dataset.

The fifth and last chart shows the running total of accumulated precipitation.
