Tom ,

 

My Colts Neck total came to 70 YTD -  They seems to match up pretty with well with the Freehold and Marlboro numbers .

All my numbers are in the threads going back to Dec .

 

I should have broke them down in one thread , but this is what I ended up with  . My measurements were taken out back on Wyndcrest on a 4 x 4  board all winter .

I wasn`t at all aggressive , but you and I have a difference .

Happens .

Unlike myself, Tom doesn't slant stick his measurements ;)

I know of several storms where you guys did a lot better than me. December 20, 2009 is a good example you guys had about 24 inches where I had only 18 inches and March 3 of 2009 you guys had about 15 inches, I had about 10.

that's just ridiculous.

i can get in my car and be in freehold (to my southeast) in under 20 minutes... yet every year some how freehold ends up with at least 1 foot more than here.   there was 56.5" here.  meanwhile, if i drive 20 minutes to my south (hightstown/work), there's always less snow there than here in e. brunswick.  there is a consistent disparity across a swath of central NJ that you wouldnt think would exist, but it's very real.

I don't know, It must be a decendial thing. In the 1990's minus 96 I remember wanting to move to NB because every snow event seemed to change to or be all rain south of Old Bridge.

Paul -- yeah I noticed that and I too was surprised at the difference.

 

I measured on a 4 by 4 snow board as well all winter, except for the very windy events when I additionally utilized an average of approximately 20-30 measurements throughout the yard. Believe me, I want to count every single flake, and I also want to come up with the most accurate number possible.

 

This was an interesting winter in terms of snowfall distribution. In the DC-BWI area I noticed that totals are vastly different across short distances as well.

 

Just for reference what were your totals for the 09/10 and 10/11 winters? For those two years I ended up with 72.0" and 57.7" respectively.

 

On a less scientific note, this winter to me, definitely didn't seem to produce as much snow as the 2009-10 winter. Philly's number for that year was also about 10" higher than this winter.

It has been a very good stretch for our area, no doubt.

 

The major differences began with the 2008-09 winter, when the March 1-2nd event resulted in totals 5-10" higher in Monmouth than New Brunswick area.

 

2009-10 of course was another cut-off year with Middlesex county substantially less than Monmouth.

 

 2010-11 we had similar totals.

 

Then 2012-13 continued the major difference, largely due to the November MECS which jackpotted interior Monmouth County.

 

And now this year I have about 7" more than you.

Tom , 

 

We are within10 perc of each other and since we`ve had 20 events we were prob never off by more than a  half of inch

in any of those events . 

 .

Maybe Ray can take the avg for  CN  , Regardless but I`m ok with whatever measurement is used , it was great year .

The last five winters minus 2012 indeed have been very good for Monmouth. We're fairly evenly spaced between NYC and Philly which enables us to cash in on the heavy snow axis of Philly favored years like 2009/2010, this year and NYC favored year of 2010/2011. Unfortunately folks tend to look at the Freehold Coop numbers which are a train wreck for averages. This year they had the entire month of December snowfall at 0.0" with many other events omitted. Fortunately there is an other poster here, Mohawkvalley who is about a mile away and has measured over 70" as well.

You may be interested to know that CoCoRaHS data is incorporated into NCDC's datasets now.  I believe this is you:
