How much snow fell?

Estimated from the rise in snow on ground at FORT MCMURRAY CS, the climate station at Fort McMurray Airport (about 13 km south-east of downtown and about 116 m higher). No Fort McMurray station has reported fresh snowfall since 2007-11-30, so this is not a snowfall reading. Snow settles and compacts, so a depth rise understates the snow that fell, and drifting or sensor noise can also move the depth. Precipitation is water equivalent and includes rain. Dates are the days on which the daily snow-depth reading rose; the time of that reading is not documented, so the snow may have fallen the day before. The start and end are climatological-day boundaries (06:00 UTC), not storm times. Snow on ground was blank on every day on file before the rise, and those days were read as 0 cm (bare ground) because the readings on file start in the autumn, before the snow. The data ends on 2026-10-24, so the event may not be over. Confidence is medium: the rise is counted from bare ground assumed before the first reading on file.
