Idaho is a state so varied in topography and climate
that generalization about the weather there are difficult to make. The
influence of the Northern Pacific Ocean is felt throughout the state.
Cold, snowy winters and brief, mild summers are the norm, especially
in the coldest parts of Idaho, the Rocky Mountain range in the eastern
part of the state, and the elevated interior regions. The Snake River
Plain is warmer, with more forgiving winters, but gets only around 8
inches of precipitation annually, a sharp contrast to the more than
40 average inches in the Bitterroot Mountains. Sever weather in the
form of storms is uncommon in Idaho. |
