The amount of snow that fell in the Sault over the 23rd, 24th and 25th of this month is less than half what was recorded in 1980, says Environment and Climate Change Canada
Although the Sault was on the receiving end of greater-than-usual amounts of snow over Christmas, Environment and Climate Change Canada says it wasn't even half as much as what fell over the same days over 40 years ago.
The 17 cm that fell on Christmas Day this year was also nowhere near the additional 80 cm that fell on the same date in 1980, said Cheng.“So it was a bad year in 1980," said Cheng. "“Sault Ste. Marie is notable for good snowfall because of the lake effect that you get from Lake Superior, that’s why we got hammered, but not as hammered as in past Christmases."
