North American mountains get almost triple the snow previously thought

By Sid PerkinsMar. 15, 2018 , 12:30 PM

Snowboarders, rejoice! North America gets a lot more snow than previously presumed—so much that each year if spread evenly across the continent, it would add up to about 19 centimeters. And if piled up only in Ohio, the snow would be a whopping 45 meters deep (about the height of the Statue of Liberty, sans its pedestal).
