alt Hacker NewsI have to ask because this makes no sense to me: In the article, there is a picture of 3 workers taking a snow survey and finding "zero measurement of snow". This is reported as "the second lowest since 2015".
How is any measurement of a quantity of an item less than zero? You can't have negative snow to my knowledge.

I just kind of assumed they meant no additional snow to add to the accumulated amount they have for the season compared to 2015.
The writing in this article indeed isn't great.
I believe what they're saying is that the 2015 measurement was also zero. So this year's measurement isn't the "second-lowest", it's the "second equally lowest". That's the only way I could interpret it.
