Where these numbers come from
Read next: Why storm depth matters more than snowfall and What a winter of snow weighs.
NOAA 1991 to 2020 climate normals from Sacramento 5 ESE, 9.9 miles from Elk Grove. A normal winter, not this winter's forecast. Snow is weighed at 6.24 pounds a cubic foot, fresh and fairly dry; wet spring snow can weigh three times that.
- Days with snow on the ground come from a second nearby station, because the closest one does not record snow depth.
