Ukie has been flukie....awful season. Tossed. -
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...
-
No complaints about this...nice little event.
-
2.5" from 445-845 S- 27.5
-
I do that and F5 for NARCAN maps. Wxbell doesn't get data is quickly as Stormvista, but has great graphics
-
Snowman21, neither....shits about to go down.
-
1.5" since 445 start.. 28.0/27.1 S-
-
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.
-
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.
-
Just started here.....glad to see I got home about 40 min ago
-
Bravo....
-
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.
-
Not if you had measured every 6 hours.....(mic drop).....
-
Nah, not poorly articulated....you are right, but its just exceedingly rare....which is my point. I don't want to rely on that.
-
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??
-
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.
-
Thank you.
-
Sure, you can observe the science and meteorology of snow depth, I'm interested in observing snowfall.
-
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.
-
Don't get me started lol Agree.
-
95% of it is down in 24 hours.
-
I think it start to occlude when passing us on the EPS....so I don't think its like a Boxinx Day deal....
-
Relying on a lobe of vorticity to protract things is even touch and go at close leads....we see that fall apart often at 24 hrs, NVM 6 days. I just don't want to rely on that to deliver big amounts is all I am saying. Looks good for a decent storm, though, regardless.
-
I don't envision that happening here...if you want to use a 1/100 yr event as an example, then tip of the cap...I concede. Even the other two....vast majority was in day 1, day two was like several inches over 12+ hrs.
-
Its still intensifying through hr 162 on EPS, so isn't that bad.
