Abstract

Abstract Various interests desire information and data on heavy snowfalls to define their spatial and temporal occurrences. Historical data at the nation’s 208 first-order stations for events with 15.2 cm or more snowfall in 2 days or less was assessed, and revealed various serious data problems at 118 stations with climatological quality data available for 90 stations. The data problems are described as guidelines for those seeking to utilize heavy snowfall data, and stations with quality data are listed.
