National snowfall maps from NOHRSC
By Edward Vielmetti
The National Operational Hydrological Remote Sensing Center (NOHRSC) prepares a National Snow Analysis to show how much snow has come down nationwide. It uses a mixture of field reports, radar analysis and aerial surveys to estimate both snowfall from the current storm and total snow on the ground.
Heavy snowfall, as measured by NOHRSC, stayed mostly to the south of the Ann Arbor area. This map shows 24-hour accumulations for Tuesday, and does not include any Wednesday morning snowfall.
