The 4 Seasons

@CoastalWx i see 2N Weymouth at 6" on the PNS is that you? i know you said 5.5, did it change or is that someone else?

Looks like BOX did toss that 16.2 cocorahs report for some reason. They issued a final PNS for this and didn't include it.

80s dews and all things summer for Morch

Yeah that's what im sayin'. After about the first week-10 days of April our snow chances down here virtually drop to zero. Barring some weird freak event. As long as its not like 2020 and snowing May again, im good with the last week of March/first week of April. I was just looking at Feb 2018 climo and i forgot that after that late February 4-8" paste storm we nearly hit 80 a few days later. Totally forgot about that insane torch in Feb. Then March 18 happened. We had little snowpack that season... it would snow-melt-rain-snow repeat. Late Season SNE Late Season CT

This looks like dong down here, other than the Canadian

I only have 25 years and it's on the site. I still gotta go back and not only fix and update all the seasonal maps but do ones for 94-99. Season total maps are pretty much non-existent pre 2008 so i have nothing to base it on except the COOP data and climate sites. They are rough and just meant to give a general idea of the season. But i did do an average for 25 years when the archive only went back to 2000. There's also NWS maps for each climo 30-year period. https://www.jdjweatherconsulting.com/average-seasonal-snowfall

Yeah i just recently read through NWS' 14 page COOP snow measurement guidelines PDF. On the surface you wouldn't think that it's that complicated, but theres so many different variables and things to consider. I guarantee the average person who sends a public report thinks, "how can that be? you just stick a ruler in the ground after it snows and thats it" We have all these different programs with different standards with CoCoRaHs, CO-OP, Skywarn..etc. It would be nice if there was just one umbrella for everything I ran across this other program when looking at old PNS from the late 90s and early 00s that i can't figure out what it is. Something called SWIN observers? I tried searching but couldn't find anything. I was thinking maybe it was an acronym for SkyWarn Independent Network or something like that? Or it's something completely different that's obsolete.

enjoy Lava Lake, i know that thing has burned you countless times over but not this season

weenievista at it again. wxbell is like 2-5 mean for that period. But still a huge improvement from 00Z so thats all that matters

prob be 33 and R/S everyday if you smooth it out

this place gives me whiplash

Fixed ranges. So the 13" reports will pop a 12-18" color range even without including the 16.2.

Of course he did. There's also plenty of 3-4" reports in Cumberland

Oh no i totally agree with you and dendrite. If you seen some of my posts from yesterday I said I expect to see 15-18" totals since some of those were from mid morning 9am to noon. Just the fact there was only one gave me some pause and the other Beverly report that was less by 3". But i do believe it, just expected more of them. I can only fit one, so i have to choose what to include.

whats your thoughts on the 16.2 in beverly? legit? im debating whether or not to include it in. There is also a 13.6" report in SW beverly which seems to be a bit more realistic and whats in line with surrounding totals. But i still can see 16.2 being possible right in the sweet spot

Preliminary snowfall totals for CT. I'll have all the final maps for CT/SNE/Tri-State done by tomorrow morning ish. May end up needing to change the ranges well see. Highest CT report is 4SW Voluntown @ 10.8"

Some new high reports coming out of Essex county now that the 2nd day of cocorahs is rolling out. Another two hours and i can get it all on ACIS2 Beverly 16.2 Beverly 13.6 Hamilton 13

QPF is also off...nearly 40:1 ratios. i figure bad catch again from the winds yesterday, shame they don't fix that. ORH is more reasonable 5.2/0.31 17:1

@ORH_wxman @CoastalWx So did Logan get 5.2 or 5.4? Their PNS and ob on the interactive map says 5.2 but they recorded 0.2 on the 6th before midnight and Feb 7th says 5.2. One of them is an error I'm gonna go with 5.4 since thats what's in the record books

only 153? still seems like a lot to me. what do they average up at the picnic tables?

who said that it was?

in smithfield? im assuming you are right at the airport since thats all i have to go off of is your member location KSFZ

Side note: man 15-16 was absolutely abysmal for you 33.4? I got more snow than you with close to 40. That probably never happened before and wont happen again. Actually was a pretty decent winter here. Solid 3 week stretch and two double digit storms, one was a blizzard.

Won't even approach records though as they are in a whole nother league... double digits in the negatives for records..

Brutal cold right down to the shoreline. Not often you see BDR HVN and GON approach 0. Wind chills 13 to 22 below @ 7AM
