  1. This looks nearly as good as can be at this point, but my guard will be up for the rug to be pulled up until I breech the pack with yard stick in hand. I know why the usual fast flow of nina that often plagues our chances for big events may not be applicable in this case, but I'll still believe it when I see it. No issue with a 6-12", 8-14" type deal, but this ceiling potential is always hard to attain, anyway, NVM during a mod la nina.
  2. My early pick for spot in SNE that you don't want to be for this.....CTRV. Easterly fetch is no bueno...downslope hell. Places to be.....east slopes of ORH hills and honorable mention to interior NE MA.
  3. I deserve a few buns for this.....haven't compared charts, but this reminds me of a colder version of Dec 1992. Obviously not expecting 4" of QPF or near record coastal flooding, but wow...
  4. No complaints about this...nice little event.
  5. I do that and F5 for NARCAN maps. Wxbell doesn't get data is quickly as Stormvista, but has great graphics
  6. 1.5" since 445 start.. 28.0/27.1 S-
  7. Right. At the end of the day, we enjoy snow and are going about our own methodology for obtaining the most accurate data possible. You make sure to delineate between any melting, and total snowfall, and I'll do the same with respect to snowfall and settled depth.
  8. No, I don't think you are the only one. However, I think your claim that it inflates snowfalls is bullshit. What it does is help to distinguish between snow depth and snowfall.
  9. Just started here.....glad to see I got home about 40 min ago
  10. So, you declare that your manner of measuring only ensures uncompromised data in "certain situations", then proceed to drop the mic....you do you, I guess.
  11. Not if you had measured every 6 hours.....(mic drop).....
  12. Nah, not poorly articulated....you are right, but its just exceedingly rare....which is my point. I don't want to rely on that.
  13. Sarcasm...whooosh. The problem with measuring snow depth at any given time and passing it off as snowfall is that you are allowing other aspects of nature to "manipulate" the snowfall. If Wilmington gets 6" Tuesday, then it flips to rain, while Powderfreak and Phin play naked twister in the snow. Are you calling it a whiff when you slumber out of bed at noon on Tuesday to measure and mow the lawn??
  14. How the hell do you manipulate snowfall by measuring it every six hours?? Lets stop reporting hourly obs at airports, we don't want to manipulate the thermometer...just give the temp once per day.
  15. Sure, you can observe the science and meteorology of snow depth, I'm interested in observing snowfall.
  16. It does not if you want the snowfall total....if you want snow depth, it does. Simple as that. Why do you think road crews want to know how much will fall?? They don't have the luxury of waiting a day for the shit to settle before they plow it.
  17. I think it start to occlude when passing us on the EPS....so I don't think its like a Boxinx Day deal....
