Abstract

The 2012–2013 meteorological winter was most characterised by frequent heavy snowfall, leading to deep snow cover in all three winter months. The sum of new snow depth during the whole snowfall season, from August 2012 through July 2013, ranked among the highest in last decades and even recordbreaking in southeastern Slovenia. However, total snow depth and snow water equivalent came close or surpassed the record value of the same period only at some places in Slovenia. Snow cover lasted much longer than normally.
