Coeur d'Alene sets snow record

By Jerry Manter
COEUR d'ALENE - Weather watchers say a snowfall record has been broken in Coeur d'Alene.

Climatologist Cliff Harris says that as of 3 p.m. Tuesday, 127 inches of snow had fallen in the northern Idaho city this season. That's nearly three inches more than the old record of just over 124 inches, set in the winter of 1915-1916.

Harris predicts another 10 or 15 inches of snow could fall before spring comes. He says everyone is going to remember this winter for years to come.

The city's normal snowfall is about 67 inches a year.

There's been so muc snow that members of the Idaho National Guard have been sent there to help clear the snow.

My Step-father in law lives in CDA and has for at least twenty years (never asked how long but that’s how long he as been my wife’s step-father). He said he’s never seen anything like it.
