Jan. 16, 2014. With less than a month since winter officially began on Dec. 21, only about one-fifth of last year’s snowfall has showered the High Country so far during the 2013-14 winter season, according to RaysWeather.com. But compared to the 2011-12 season, it is nearly half of what fell upon the High Country during an unseasonal winter.
The 2013-14 totals are as of Jan. 16. Snow reports are listed under the “Almanac” tab at RaysWeather.com.
