Yep. It would be the snowiest climate beating Kutchan by 200 inches. And yes 177 in is insane for a month.

For example, in 1880 Florida had 270k inhabitants, Maine 650k.
Wow, this thread moved fast! Just want to clarify, there is no malaria vaccine. Several are under development.

True, but wasn't malaria more prevalant, 100 years ago? The US south and Mediterranean Europe had endemic malaria. Was it just draining swamps and mosquito control?

Yeah I've seen that stat. Only the Premier League, La Liga and the Bundesliga have more fans through the gates. So the Championship has bigger crowds than Serie A!

The Polish league is quite fun to watch. No big stars and often more tempo than refined skill, so the games are quite entertaining, as mistakes happen. And an amazing atmosphere. Not the rigid orchestrated ballet like often in Serie A.
Yeah there are some very good teams, and in fact some very big clubs in the Championship. Some of the football is very good, and tbh, the main difference in quality between Premier League and Championship football is the better defenders of the PL.
I do love the atmosphere of some of the European clubs. Some amazing scenes at some games.

The snow ratio depends more on the midlevel (850 mb or so, maybe 700 mb) temperature than surface. Caribou, Maine can get a lower snow ratio on average than Syracuse, New York because Caribou's snow comes from Atlantic air rather than lake effect. If these numbers are right, Wabash Labrador has a 13:1 ratio in January with an average temperature of -8°F

The UK had endemic malaria until the 1950s, when the fens and swamps were drained.

haha this guy lives at 500m elevation in Melbourne's coldest suburb with 8 months of solid wintry cold cloudly drizzle. What's funny is that he is an AGW terrorist at the BOM yet cant hack the mild inconsistant summers at 500m elevation in Australia's coldest city and was probably instrumental in setting up the new polar troll station for the official Melbourne obs.
