In terms of the fraction of winter precipitation produced by lake effect, Brighton is just to the east of the lake-effect maximum. This can be seen in Fig. 8 of this paper: http://www.inscc.utah.edu/~steenburgh/papers/DLEclimo.pdf. Lake-effect storms are pretty shallow and dump their loads pretty quickly when they hit the mountains. The fact that during northwesterly flow there is a longer fetch of mountains upstream of Brighton compared to Alta might make a difference in such shallow storms. A couple km matters in these events. Note, however, that the difference is not huge. <br /><br />My prediction for this winter is that I can't reliably predict what is going to happen. There are no indicators to tell us one way or the other what kind of year we will have. <br /><br />JimJim Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15799757451626876963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6168620747792092240.post-59588589566215924022012-11-11T11:57:54.613-07:002012-11-11T11:57:54.613-07:00Hey Jim
Cool blog. Im a retired powder junkie... ...Hey Jim<br />Cool blog. Im a retired powder junkie... But still follow snow totals and forecasts pretty closely. What a storm. A couple questions. What is your explanation for why Alta gets more snow from the lake effect than Brighton?<br /><br />Second, what is your long range prediction for our snowpack this winter?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
