A glacier is by definition multi-year snowpack that doesn’t melt, compacts into ice, and starts flowing. This process takes at least several years. You aren’t going to make glaciers with one big snow year.

Maybe the next storm can destroy the #@$&*@! inversion or at least weaken it since it will be a colder one.

It is common in late March and April for the marine layer to become more dominant after a storm passes, as the flow tends to remain onshore more frequently as we get into spring. However, if we get a cold storm, then it may clear after the storm for a while before the airmass modifies.

Checked it out a few hours ago and yes, my rain gauge had a clog in it. Fortunately I have a manual rain gauge as well. Very heavy rain right now, my season total is approaching 17 inches. 2018-19 and 2019-20 totals both have been surpassed.

Rainfall totals update????
