Going to try something new this season. Will be doing a running season totals periodically as the winter progresses.

Reports are from AMWX, CLI (BDR,BDL), and a couple fellow mets.

Accumulating storms include:

10/30

12/05

12/16-17

12/20

If anyone has any additional reports (I pulled from New England Snow website that had all 4 events) please let me know.

 

 

That is sweet!
I see I have some catching up to do here, and I will as soon as I can. I notice some posts in here, but I'm not sure to add them (as actual members on the list) or not. Last time I checked, there were some new names, and even totals for one storm, not the season. I'll go back and look at it all again when I update everything else, but it was getting confusing at first glance.

13.5” to date

Should I change that for you?

Kevin, I'd like to add a new entry for my new town but the lookup only allows my previous locales. Any idea how to fix this?

I have added Sandwich to the locations list.

Indeed, thanks! Posted mine today. Hey on that note - is there a way to download last year's data to Excel? I can print it but I can't see a way to download in spreadsheet format. I like to do side by side comparisons by date 

I noted this. The table plugin I use has many options for data filtering, presentation and exporting, so I'll look into this when I get some time.
Are there any specific ways you want last year's data shown?

Along the same lines....I made the entry for today and it shows up  under my entries section but not on the list wish everyone else’s.

Thanks Kevin!

You chose the wrong season from the dropdown. I fixed it for you, and also added this season as the default choice for new entries.

Kevin, I am unable to make a new entry for some reason. I have done so in the past, but I am just not seeing anything with a new entry option....

I just logged in under your name, and it works for me.
Make sure you are logged in, then go here. You have run into this before.

Hi guys. I'm hearing some spots in New Hampshire are getting snow.
If you were in this last season, you should be good to go.
If not, you'll need to contact me for a username and password.

Thanks for the heads up Kevin - everything seems to be working fine on the user end - I'll let you know if anything comes up with respect to data entry etc.

Thanks man. Everything seems to be just fine. It was painless.

FYI, I moved the snow portion of my site to its own directory, something I've been needing to do for a long time.
Here is the new address: New England Snow

Good to know. Most times I don't if it's not a quantifiable amount, but I guess it doesn't hurt. Thanks!

Sort this page (descending) and you will see some very small amounts.

I've had a trace the past 3 days. Does anyone report trace amounts?

Yes:
 

I found this to be pretty cool!

Here is the screenshot version.  All very proper and tidy. Lol.  Thanks Kevin!

Thanks for clearing that up. I thought something was wrong.

Kevin thanks again for filling in the numbers for those of us who do not. I’ll look back at the log in info and try to do that myself. I like the addition of details like what Dave did. 

Not a problem doing it.

Logging in does give you much more control over your own records. It's not just Dave who adds details to events. Several people now do it and I think it's great. Filtering, sorting, and searching, is much better now, than it was in the past.

Let’s see if this works

Date	Amount	Note
12/30/2019	3.00	Thunder and sleet and snow
12/17/2019	4.25	Poorly forecast. I was thinking 4-6” leaning upper end. Very icy in areas
12/11/2019	4.00	I underestimated this one
12/06/2019	2.30	Little fluffy critter
12/03/2019	25.00	2 day total
11/24/2019	1.00

 

I'm kind of wondering why you are not seeing the " suffix in the amount field. What page is this screenshot from?

For those who have been wanting ranks for the totals, I have been trying like crazy to find a way make it happen. Today, I found a way, but at the moment, it only works behind the scenes, not on the front end. I have contacted the vendor for the plugin I use for these tables and I'm waiting for a reply. Based on what I can tell, it doesn't look too promising, unless they can do some sort of magic for me.

1.2" on that clipper. I'm pretty meticulous

You must mean 12/06. 

I didn't see that posted anywhere, but I'll get that in there.

3.3"

23.3" season

Unless we're missing something, I've got you at 22.1"

If there are any SQL wizards here, the following is the query that gets the result for the home page table:

SELECT user_names.user_name,city.city,state.state,SUM(events_full.amount) AS total
FROM user_names,city,state,events_full
WHERE user_names.user_id=events_full.user_id 
AND city.city_id=events_full.city_id 
AND state.state_id=events_full.state_id 
AND events_full.season_id=13
AND amount > 0
Group By user_names.user_name

not to sound picky, but can the ranking for the snow total table be added? thanks,.

I thought of that, and I'm sure it can be done, but it's not something I know how to do off the top of my head. I would love to know how, so I'm going to look into it.

You can now add events or totals from 2006-07 onward. 

I will add the season pages for those years, and add my data, when I get to work. (I have events from 2007-08 until present)

Also, I know there are some with event data that goes way back. If you want it added, but don't want to enter all the records, if you send me a spreadsheet in the following format, I can get it in quickly:

All set. See PM

Would it be a problem adding a few more years so we can add totals from seasons prior to whatever you have there (2010-11 I think?). My first season with data here was 06-07.

Not a problem at all. I have data going back to 2007-08. I'll work on this a little later today and let you know when I'm done.

FWIW, I keep my weather record 7A to 7A so snowfall I what I have listed for 12/2 for example would have been snow that fell between 12/1 at 7A and 12/2 at 7A.  So, I have an entry of 1.5" on 12/4 that fell mostly on the 3rd but after 7A so my storm total was 15", not 13.5".  Sorry if I'm confusing the record.  My season total is right it's just the dates might be slightly different from others.

Understood. It's not a big deal, really. The storm page was just something I thought I would add to give a quick, and neat indication of storm totals. Like you said,  your season total is correct, and every entry in the All Records page remains as well. You're not confusing anything.
