    Couple pics before I cleaned up, plus the snowboard I threw together this week with some stuff I had around the house. I hope to use all 20 inches of that ruler at some point this winter.
     

    i left the snowboard untouched and measured the sleet off another surface, so it shows what the mess compacted down to (about 1.5").

    I could be wrong but that looks like polystyrene or pvc bord. If its polystyrene I think it is a very easy, smart ,affordable and lightest weight idea. I am going to build a few with Polystyrene. Im sure you will be weighing it down or spiking it for some storms if its poly but I think they may need a one spike In the center or another sheet so it doesn't flex in a high wind situation.

    So uh...whats the best way to remove this frozen shart sleet? Ice melt and then shovel? lol

    if your driveway is relatively smooth 4-6 tine pitchfork with the fork at about 45° then push of with shovel. its cake as long as it has not hardened to much. If its to hard salt or chrorlide  first what until you see water pockets forming underneath then fork it.

  3. I dont have or no were you guys get your tools or I would do it myself . I was wondering if anyone ever went back and looked at the pattern in late September and October I have been talking about. I was always hoping someone would take interest and look back. I think we do have a setup here pretty identical. If no one is talking to me now whatever .  

  4. Just a reminder OF WHERE TO FIND HARRISBURGS REAL TOTALS AFTER THE STORM

    On Monday they were calling for 5-8". Dropped it down to 3-5" on Tuesday and they haven't budged from those numbers since. 

    TWC did drop the totals at least for me down to 1-3 for a few hours yesterday then right back to 3-5  were they have been there for a few days. I hate twc now but I started using there site way back in the day and still visit out of habit for some reason. Its got to be the shittiest running weather site out there.

    @Flatheadsickness I love your passion for the weather and accuracy of measuring snow.   My suggestion would be to become a spotter for NWS to make your obs known.   Snow amounts can vary at short distances.   MDT at the airport itself sits at 312’ right along the river.   Any gain in elevation is going to increase snow amounts. It’s not my fight to fight, but this forum is getting clogged up with your posts and becoming distracting from what this forum stands for.   Best of luck

    I do understand your frustration  and I do know how a thin strip can train over a area a or a burst can happen in my side of town and not the other thats not the case here. I noticed Every storm since 2016 has been represented with a snow hate bias for the City and as I found out tonight the wrong station for the actual city and thats where the truth can be found. I held it in for three years before I finally called it out.
