Record set for snow on the ground in Quinte

By Paul Martin Jan 28, 2026 | 9:30 AM

Tuesday’s snowfall was intense at times and helped contribute to a new record for total winter impact in Quinte.

Readings taken at CFB Trenton show that we received 9.4 cm of snow on Tuesday.

That is far less than the record of 16.5 set on January 27th of 1967.

It did help to set a new mark for total snow on the ground.

Measurements at the base showed 61 cm of snow (average), setting a new record and breaking a recent trend for this time of year.

That record-setting total of snow on the ground is actually more than the previous three years combined for January 27th (18 cm in 2023, only 4 cm in 2024 and 8 cm last year).
