    I hate going back and forth with people and taking up space in the forums, but I can't stand misinformation.

    The August sun angle doesn't arrive until April.
  3. JerseyWx
    True, but it's beyond annoying how much he exaggerates. August sun angle, really? Where the heck does he come up with that?

    It will feel like a torch, yes. But "torch" is a term that is relative to averages, and by mid-march, 50's ain't cutting it.
  5. JerseyWx
    12 currently.

    I wonder if we can manage to maintain the streak of wintry events on or near the 20th.
  7. JerseyWx
    You could do that, but then that fails to take into consideration smaller/larger events. Plus, since we measure to the tenth, the mode may not capture that many storms (won't be very representative). The best bet is to just stick with one average, and if you feel the data is skewed, report the standard deviation so we know the average distance of cases from the mean. If you want to get fancy, and your data is in SPSS, you can also report the skewness value to see if some storms are biasing the data set.

    I definitely think reporting SD is a good idea, since it helps us see how things stack up against the mean (lot of variability or not).

    But the very point of the mathematical mean is to arrive at one number that represents a larger date set. An average is always supposed to be one number. That said, the numbers we use to compute that average can shift over time, which is why the 1971-2000 data set became 1981-2010.

    Yeah I wasn't doing it last night, but it pains me not to know the exact amount lol. I know that I lost at least a half inch due to compaction and the sun. So I probably had upwards of 8.5" or so. Biggest storm of the season for us, and it was a really nice scene with the snow stuck to everything. Probably one of our last snow events. This week looks cold but dry, and by next week things should warm up.

    It was an incredible month. Two-feet on the 7th here.

    The 20th, and dates surrounding it, always seem to feature some snowfall. I received 3.9 inches on March 20th 2015, .50 inches on March 20th 2016, 1 inch on March 18th 2017, and 9 inches March 21-22nd 2018.

    Alright, I know exactly where that is. I'm pretty close to Bubbling Brook road, which leads up to the other side of the reservoir. Elevation varies a lot around here as you know, and so in marginal events (like during the spring) totals tend to differ.

    Thank you. That's totally reasonable. Kinnelon has some high spots, I'm right on the border across town in Butler.

    Just measured 8" here. I know that's less than it should be, since at 12:40 I had 7.5" (snowed for awhile after). I wasn't staying up all night though after working both days this weekend.
  16. JerseyWx
    Yeah that could be it. Very impressed thus far.
  17. JerseyWx
    I'm over 7" here.
  18. JerseyWx
    This actually feels like the first true snow event since the November storm.
  19. JerseyWx
    I've always liked these discussions, especially in winter events like this, and convective ones in the summer.
  20. JerseyWx
    What does the 2000 mean anyway?
  21. JerseyWx
    3.4" here (or technically 3.375 ) @rgwp96
  22. JerseyWx
    I'm at 19.4" so far.
  23. JerseyWx
    Didn't expect this much, 2.3" here. What did you get @rgwp96?
  24. JerseyWx
    .4" here. Technically it's 3/8 or .375" but I don't want to anger Rob and the interior crew this morning.
  25. JerseyWx
    Yeah it's frustrating even for me, and as you know I'm not a winter fan by any means.
