Mine sunk an inch or so further into the ground after that. Relying on manual depth obs since (always used to validate the stake, but now they're the exclusive measurement method.
Is the antecedent airmass colder than progged up here because of the fresh snow cover? Or does this question make a certain Tolland poster confused?
Didn't expect to be sitting at 16.2°F this early.
Would be a rarity to be sure. Just happy to have warning criteria this winter.
Another 0.7" of 14:1 @ 7PM gives us 8.0" on the event. 0.87" total liquid.
That's me - 6.6" was as of 7AM; 7.3" as of 1PM.
Our ratios are more what I'm accustomed to on the coast:
4:1 at midnight
9:1 at 7AM
12:1 at 1PM
Overall 9:1
I think the pattern in December ended up being favorable, caveats apply with NAO blocking, we just didn't luck out and cash in on the pattern.
Pattern looks good-great again post 1/25. Hopefully our luck is better with this one than the last.
