***A reading of -135.8° was recorded on July 31, 2013 at a desolate ice plateau in East Antarctica. It was the lowest temperature ever recorded on Earth, though it will not get that recognition in the official record book since it was based on remote satellite measurements. Only readings measured by thermometers on location, not remotely by satellite, count in the record books. Also note that a reading of -98° was recorded in Oymyakon, Russia in the winter of 2013, but was never confirmed.

SOME SNOW FACTS Approximately 70 percent of the annual snowfall in the United States falls during December, January and February. However, for areas near the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains, March and April are often their snowiest months.



On average, 105 snow producing storm systems hit the lower 48 United States annually.



The old saying that ten inches of fresh snow contains one inch of water is only occasionally true. In reality, ten inches of new snow can contain as little as 0.10 inches of water to nearly four inches.
