Interesting that two stations both in Washington should have such
divergent totals. I suppose that with so muchdrifting of the snow it's
more or less impossible to get an accurate figure. In fact you could
argue that "accurate" is pretty much meaningless when there's severe
drifting, and the best you can hope for is a representative figure.
