COEUR d’ALENE — Sunday’s snowfall was the largest one-day event since the massive snow storms that occurred in the winter of 2008.
Depending where the snow fell, Bonner County received between 6.9 inches in Priest River to more than 12 inches in Hope, Dover and Sandpoint. Kootenai County received between 9 and 15 inches of snow. Climatologist Cliff Harris’s weather station measured 11.5 inches.
“We had a lot of snow, but this isn’t going to be like those winters of ’08 and ’09, or ’07 and ’08,” Harris said, explaining those two back-to-back winters accumulated a combined 318.5 inches due to the La Niña weather pattern that was in place.
