Snow potential markers in the White Mountains

Recommended Posts

Highway departments in  New Hampshire use this method. The taller the sticks, the taller the snow potential at any given time.

 

 

 

 

There are several Notches in the White Mountains where vehicles pass through between two taller peaks.

Crawford notch and Dixville notch (which is in the video) are more prone than the others to get buried in deep snow. I am no weather expert but I suppose it would be because of factors such as proximity to peaks, direction they face, close distance to those same peaks, etc.

Colorado marks the highway edges in the Rocky Mt.  This is near Estes Park Hydro plant.
