Snowfall: Inches of snowfall over a winter season. 

Snow removal events: Number of times snow plowing services were deployed over a winter season. 

An average winter season sees 49 inches of total snow accumulation. 

An average winter season sees 24 snow and ice events that require a response. 

Because each snow response event involves the use of many pieces of heavy equipment, large amounts of material and numerous people, it can become resource intensive. Tracking the amount of snow accumulation and winter storm events requiring a response helps to predict the amount of resources needed to complete a season of snow and ice management.
