can i open up a thread for the clipper? -
That was the most incredible early heat I'd ever seen. Ended just as handsomely, too - 91 to 38, 2pm to 2pm, 31st to April 1. Never to this day have I seen a BD that powerful. It was 3pm and the T on the wx lab monitor was flipping around 89 and 90, while up in CAR, ME, 50 mph gusts from the NE and something like 33 - can't recall exactly but you knew... That was the 3rd day of too... like 88, 89, 91 on Campus. So the correction was going to be felt.

I said that yesterday. I don’t even bother every 6 hours when it’s that windy. I’m exposed to the N and E too. -
Supposed to land tomorrow at JFK 4:10pm.

I measure on my back deck before I clear it (sometimes every 2-3hrs depending on storm) and I have a steeply pitched roof so not an exact science for sure. Sure felt like an 16-18” storm when the kids and dogs played in it yesterday though…

In good conscience I can only record 6 inches where I am. It was very disappointing but watching the system bury the bottom half of RI was pretty cool. Tracking the system for a few days was cool too. It seemed from just north of Providence the amounts for awhile went down pretty quick...that is one of the biggest variances in snow amounts over a short distance I have ever heard of , Inverted troughs aside. -

I joked last night, but all of those Fall River roofs were blown almost clean. It has to go somewhere. But yeah…it’s like rainfall totals in a legit hurricane. Good freakin luck. If you really want to get serious and have the space…NWS GRR once experimented with automated snow measuring and put concentric snow fences around it to cut down on drifting. https://www.weather.gov/grr/snowsensor

It makes the situation more impactful in cities. You’re adding all that roof snow into narrow streets.
-
The enormous piles aren't going anywhere anytime soon so you'll see those

NAM’s a step closer. Verbatim it gives a dusting to Delmarva. But in the leadup, you can see how the flow is trending over the last 3 runs: See the little shortwave getting more emphasis to our west. If this is gonna work at all, need to get that to be stronger but not too strong. NAM 3km had similar changes but no pity flakes.

Can’t be saving any for me when I get home.

If you have a very windy storm like this one and you measure downwind from a roof, you definitely can get inflated totals. These are always so hard to get measurements in. You are essentially reporting a measurement with a legit 10% error bar.
-
this is the first storm i can ever recall talking about a roof assist lmao. But its probably a thing, to some degree (a small percentage)
-
I saw a 16.5 report from oxford somewhere too so I’m probably a roof assisted 1-2” too high.
-
wonder if he'll ever come back....
-
compaction too.
-
Alot of melting going on
-
Higher sun angle , direction roof faces and slope -temps above freezing yesterday and close enough to freezing today to promote melting- poor insulation just below the roof - solar panels etc. etc.
