In the mountains there is rarely as much snow in September as on Friday and Saturday nights. In Montana / VS, 25 cm of fresh snow was measured on Saturday morning. The 26 cm at Davos / GR was also rarely exceeded in the past.
Amount of fresh snow
| Measuring station | Fresh snow 09/26/2020 | Sort list | Measure from |
|---|---|---|---|
| Montana / VS | 25 cm | one | 1931 |
| Davos / GR | 26 cm | 5 | 1931 |
| Grimsel | 25 cm | 8 | 1964 |
| Andermatt / UR | 10 cm | 6 | 1967 |
Purely accidental registration?
Measurements have been available since 1931 in both Montana / VS and Davos / GR. The height of fresh snow is measured manually first thing in the morning. The fact that the measurements from September 26, 2020 are now within the record range could also be a coincidence due to the timing of the measurement. If the amount of snow had fallen during the day rather than at night, the measurement would have shown a different result. In the time between the fresh snowfall and the measurement, the fresh snow would have already settled somewhat and therefore the measurement would have been deeper.
