In my experience, chickens and even Guinea hens are opportunists, so unless they see a tick right in front of them they're not seeking them out specifically. Path of least resistance food is their preferred method. My in laws in NH have Guinea hens and I still pull ticks off me on their property. As long as there are hosts (mice, other rodent) there will be ticks.

Our stakes are not comparable (obviously). My wife is hinting at wanting me to relinquish my NWS stake and associated duties after this season. You've articulated key points as to why it's important to have consistency over time, which I will now use to refute my wife's subtle attempts to crush my weenie obsession.

While (I think) it was a different synoptic setup than yesterday, and certainly the makeup of the snow was very different, we did "just" have a 30"+ storm 10 years ago. These don't grow on trees, at least we're not as favored to have them as other locations (see yesterday) do.

I'm closer to the coast than the Jetport, by about 3 miles - which doesn't help. Had over an inch of liquid, too - speaking of abysmal ratios. Even then, the PWM CoCoRAHS observers had essentially the same.
-
4.1", officially, here.
-
Almost as bad as my 4.1" on 1.05" And my can swap was pretty precise.
-
0.6"/0.15" new with the midnight obs in PWM. 3.9"/1.03" event total, 6" depth. Just about the worst ratios I can recall for a non-sleet event. Not shocked given proximity to the coast, lack of elevation, lack of cold.
-
Apologies, that wasn't directed at you. Just saw an alarming amount of deck driveway measurements today - way more than I'd expect from this forum. Clearing can be difficult to be consistent with unless you're home, I do get that.
-
Man, for a board full of weenies I'm surprised to see all the shoddy measurement practices. Not expecting by-the-book necessarily, but would it kill some of you to throw out a piece of painted wood or even a cutting board? Measuring on decks and driveways?! You're better than the general public, damnit!
-
I've been keeping track of PWM, anecdotally. Before today, forecasted amounts (last publishing prior to precip) were at 54 and change vs 52.1". I don't have the exact numbers in front of me, but iiirc the biggest miss was only like 3".
-
Don't have an anemometer but wind has picked up considerably in the last hour.
-
We were 6-8", which we could still reach.
-
1.6"/0.38" new for 7PM obs in PWM. 3.3"/0.88" SN/SWE for the event. 32/30F, SN.
-
Over 30" per the in laws in Deering, NH
-
you're in a great spot for that rotating band (I think).
-
trim them friggin' finger nails, bub, that's what.
-
I'm not disputing that as accurate given the location, elevation, and persistence of the band in that area all day...but... I'm always skeptical of deck measurements, especially since most decks are attached to the house and right under the roof where drifting happens. That one looks level with the rest of the deck at least...
-
bring it Also, can I get a fish emoji on my locale? I'm a nobody but at least i'm the PWM obs "ASOS"
-
I think that was intended for the March thread. Look at the timestamp on the map. That's from 12Z today through 06z on the 19th.
-
BIL in Deering is already there.
-
1.7" new / 0.50" SWE / 4" depth with the 1PM obs for PWM. 33/32F SN
-
why do you post under multiple usernames in the same damn thread? lol
-
This is in Tolland, MA - west of Springfield.

The last hurrah? Putting all the eggs in the Tuesday 3/14 basket

That wind depiction is a potential problem for the coast up here -
Unless you post here multiple times a day, please post your location with your obs.
