Episode 126: From Sierra’s 290 in to New England’s 3 +ft: The Wildest Snow Season in a Decade - 2/25/26
Episode 14
Wednesday, 25 February, 2026
With Mike in the field, your hosts Bryan and Evan reflect on a recent “snow‑party” and back‑to‑back powder days. Bryan notes that Tahoe, compared to anywhere in the West, has had a relatively strong season – Sugar Bowl topping the Sierra with 290 in (about 94 % of the average for the date) with the record‑breaking 5‑day storm that produced 111 in of snow, the third‑largest on record at the Snow Lab and tied with the 1982 Alpine Meadows avalanche tragedy. Big East Coast/New England snow totals were recorded over the last 5 days, as one of the biggest blizzards to hit New England just wrapped up. In some places, like Rhode Island, it was the biggest setting all-time records! They review the top‑ten seasonal totals, dominated by British Columbia but with Sugar Bowl and Palisades breaking into the list, while Utah and most of the West lag behind. But the next five days bring little snow to the lower 48, with the West and Rockies still hoping for a late‑season surge in March. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
