BOISE, Idaho (KBOI) — Yesterday's snowstorm generated some significant snowfall amounts in the Valley, one report from Meridian measured 5.5" of snow, other areas saw 1-4". The Boise Airport reported 2.1" of snowfall and that puts us just over the top of our average annual snowfall amount 19.5". We could all probably admit that it's been a bit of a roller coaster ride this winter season when it comes to temperature swings and precipitation amounts, but in the end, we're average.

When do we typically see our last measurable snowfall?

According to snowfall records that date back to 1872, Boise will usually have its last measurable snowfall (greater than or equal to 0.1") around March 24th. So after yesterday's storm, we should be clear, right? Not exactly. If you remember last year, we saw our last measurable snowfall on April 8th, where 0.1" of snow fell. There have been times where a trace of snow has fallen as late in the season as June, June 10, 2008, to be exact. So, although our chances of seeing measurable snow decrease significantly as we head into further into spring, the chance of seeing a spring snowstorm looms until the first week of June.

On the other end of the spectrum, the earliest that we've ever recorded our last measurable snowfall was on January 13, 1992.
