LongBeachSurfFreak Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 Thoughts on the snowiest place on earth? Including mountains at any elevation. My choice would be Patagonia around 45 south coastal mountains, elevation 10,000’. Should average around 2,000” a year Other option. Coastal BC Canada mountains also in the 10,000’ range. Trying to maximize moisture and uplift. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have events where it snows 100”. I just don’t think they have the kind of moisture feed you see in areas taking a jet right on the nose.

I tried to find every four letter airport code that averages over 200 inches of snow a year and all locations that have experienced temperatures of 125 and hotter and temperatures of -90 and colder (and -120 and colder for Antarctica.) Those are the two things I love-- snowiest places and most extreme temperature records. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All-time record is 134. With SW High getting stronger, something to watch out for. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like the most extremely hot places are still getting hotter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormchaserChuck! Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 SW ridge has been extremely anomalous in the last few years. Biggest consistency in the globe (anomalies) right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
