    Data Table

    • Title: Total Days of Snow Cover for Vermont
    • Start Date: 1888-09-01
    • Description: Total days of snow cover greater than one inch in the state of Vermont. The total days of snow cover were calculated by averaging the total days of snow cover over one inch throughout various stations that measured snowfall for that year. This data was collected from NOAA CDO at https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/cdo-web/search?datasetid=NORMAL_MLY. To reproduce this dataset use these search terms: Select Weather Observation Type/Dataset = Global Summary of the Year, Data Range = 1884 - 2017, Search for = States, Enter a search term = Vermont.

    • Purpose: Monitoring total days of snow cover (>1") over time (1888-2017).
