Just wondering, are the differences following the Pemi and Baker river valleys just explained by elevation? I’ve always had a tough time telling (anecdotally) if the extra ~500-100 feet predictably makes much of a difference in snowfall.

It really does seem to be the elevation, I live about 2 miles from work. House is 200ish feet higher and has 2’ of snow on the ground vs 6-8” at work (right on a good size river).Even driving home at lunch time during a storm I can tell the difference in snow from top of the hill to bottom.
