Nice. Those solar doors are a game changer.

I remember reading somewhere that was the biggest threat to their temp - moisture - amd I thought specifically feet. My oldest hen is 5, the buff, and at her old age she won't step on ice or snow, unless she absolutely has to, lol. My biggest concern this time of year is Hawks. The ermine I had slinking around their run a month or so back has moved on. Had it's fill of meadow voles, couldn't get into their run, and thankfully took off.

Well, see, there's the issue. It took several pages but we finally figured it out. Cory is 4'11". 36" would literally eat him.

Sure do!

Yes, and I'll start with what Cory sent me privately: Oh, I’m a real snow measurer. And I’ve also really done all of the following things: • Personally corrected multiple National Weather Service totals • Measured snow in non-public drift zones the “pros” don’t even know about • Had my ruler featured in three separate viral weather videos • Been DM’d by meteorologists asking for my methodology • Calibrated my yardstick to within 1/32″ precision using aerospace standards • Sat in a folding chair during peak banding to observe flake density transitions • Received a personal pocket ruler from a sitting U.S. Senator who “respects precision” • Serenaded a highly respected female TV meteorologist with an original winter ballad about dendritic growth zones • Had private correspondence with at least one other TV meteorologist • Measured in the President’s Day Blizzard of ’03 • Had drinks with a local plow operator while discussing compaction bias • Been told off-record snowfall doubts by a state official and two town officials. • Sought out as a source by at least one YouTube commenter with over 10K subscribers And all of that was before the age of 35 when I officially began my independent oversight of SE-SNE Big Snow.

Erika about slid off her chair after he dropped the GFS getting pulled in the 8th analogy. "As someone said". Good one.

I would have liked to have seen the constitution he carries in his car. At least that would have been a consolation payoff. But we know he doesn't actually have one.

My bad. Appreciate you clarifying. I agree with what you're saying now that I understand.

He's cherry-picking to fit his narrative. Notice how all but one of his shots show only the yardstick and about a square foot around it?

I wasn't even talking about his theory, I just think he is a gigantic turd. But now that we're talking about it... am I supposed to believe that all those observers conspired together to inflate their totals, via selective drift measurements, and that almost all of them reporting damn close to double what dipstick is saying? And the other guy in here thinks it's people were trying make the storm live up to the hype after the 'rug pull', just so they dont feel like they missed out on a generational storm? Wut? Do I think those measurements are 100% accurate, definitely not, but I'm talking within 15-25% of reality. You could convince me of the higher end, but not broadly. But dozens of people reporting 100% more than "what really fell" is ridiculous to me. Also highly doubt the NWS tried earnestly to convince him he had a higher total. Impressive display of narcissistic personality disorder, really. I think this is a guy who has a history of overreaction when it comes to jackpots and him missing out. He was having epic meltdowns leading up to this event. I dont think he can handle missing the earlier event this season and the jack on this. If I can't have it nobody can'd.

Between this story and that YouTube above, this guy is total dink. There's a way to commit to the bit and make it funny. He's just sort of an asshole. And (likely) wrong in his assertions. A truly terrible combination.

I (so badly) want this to be a troll job by him, but based on the evidence (read: his posts here), my conclusion is that he is, most certainly, NOT.

What a tremendous narcissist OP is. Wow.

So this is saying ASOS recorded 0.58" precip, and the observer - at the same location as the ASOS, or not - recorded 35.5" new (and a depth of 21). I'm assuming all NWS major climate-site observers capture SWE - why not use that? How effective is ASOS at capturing preicp totals from snow, especially in wind like that? Like what were the 35.5" obs SWE??

That 6.5" for South Portland is a mile up the road. Must've had about .20" more QPF than me . 4.8"/0.43"

Idk, drugs are pretty great in moderation. 05z - final PWM - 4.8"/0.45" - depth 13"

Been getting good rates and growth. Tough to say until I measure at 18z but I would estimate 2-3" so far. Been steady moderate to heavy snow since 12z.

Getting smoked here. Relative to what was expected, at least.

You really should check out Darfford this time of year.

How, on the eve of a HECS, does one possibly find themselves so downtrodden they are reduced to looking at D11 2m temp maps? Look... I'm here, too, losering it up, so I can say that. 12°F

This one?

You forgot to include their logo.

-Slightly on the lower side of climo snowfall for PWM, but season-to-date is still considered AVG. -Relatively persistent cold ---2 weeks in Jan AN but not a torch and no f*kn cutters. -Plenty of days with sun and little or no wind. Oh boo hoo it was only 12°. shhhh. -P-sure Xmas was white, too.

Snowy week on the euro. LFG.
