科罗拉多城经历了有史以来降雪最多的冬天

Residents in this Colorado city got to use their shovels plenty this winter, which ended up being one for the record books.

今年冬天，这座科罗拉多州城市的居民用铲子用得很多，这也创下了历史纪录。

The National Weather Service (NWS) office in Boulder said that a snowstorm on Thursday in the region pushed the city of Boulder over the edge to the snowiest season on record.

美国国家气象局(NWS)博尔德办公室表示，周四该地区的一场暴风雪将博尔德市推到了史上降雪最多的季节。

“We’ve broken the seasonal snowfall record in Boulder! A whopping 151.2″ of snow has fallen this season (as of 6 PM April 16),” the forecast office said on Twitter.

“我们打破了博尔德的季节性降雪记录!”天气预报办公室在推特上说:“本季度(截至4月16日下午6时)已经下了151.2英寸大雪。”

The fresh snowfall on Thursday broke a record that has lasted more than 100 years.

周四的新降雪打破了持续100多年的记录。

According to forecasters, Boulder’s previous record dated back to 1909 when the city saw 142.9 inches of snow.

根据预报员的说法，博尔德此前的记录可以追溯到1909年，当时该市的降雪量为142.9英寸。

The most recent record for a snow season was between 2009 and 2010 when 135.4 inches of snow fell on the city.

最近的一次降雪记录发生在2009年至2010年之间，当时该市的降雪量为135.4英寸。

According to the Denver Post, Boulder saw a higher amount of snow than nearby Denver this winter due to upslope — wind out of the east rapidly rising as it meets the edge of the foothills and condenses into precipitation.

据《丹佛邮报》报道，今年冬天，博尔德的降雪比附近的丹佛还要多，这是由于上坡的原因——来自东部的风在遇到山麓小丘的边缘时迅速上升，并凝结成降水。

The NWS explained the weather phenomenon in a 2015 Facebook post.

国家气象局在2015年的一篇脸书上解释了这一天气现象。

“Upslope flow or the movement of air up a sloped surface such as the side of a hill or a steep mountain slope will typically result in the formation of clouds,” the weather service stated. “In the presence of sufficient moisture, and further lift and cooling, precipitation will usually follow.”

气象局表示:“上坡气流或空气在斜坡表面(如山坡或陡峭的山坡)上的移动通常会形成云。”“在有足够的水分，并进一步抬升和冷却的情况下，就会有降水。”

Boulder was boosted into the record books on Thursday as a storm system brought snow to the Rockies before shifting east.

周四，一场风暴在向东部移动之前给落基山脉带来了降雪，使博尔德市被推入了记录册。

Between 8 and 18 inches of fresh snow fell across northern Colorado before the band of “light to moderate wet snow” took aim at the Midwest.

在“轻度到中度湿雪”袭击美国中西部之前，科罗拉多州北部刚刚下了8到18英寸的大雪。
