Mike-
I hope there is a feedback mechanism (one that is responded to as "opportunities for improvement") that can take the feedback from the users and drive rapid improvement/track progress... not sure how progressive your organization is, in todays day and age. Proces Improvement should be a mantra- but the world gets in the way sometime. Hang tough.
(The above is a State College based write up. No arguing here- but kaeeping it real- you earlier wrote with contextual certainty for your area (not Stage College) yesterday: "with greater than 25:1 as a max with this storm.." so yes, I chuckled. Sorry if it seems to have triggered you. I'd get over it and move on. Back to reading.)
Concur- Had people ice skating down our streets...laid awake listening to branches breaking and thumping down. No repeats needed. Driving was impossible.
Sierras too wet...high ratios uncommon ("Sierra cement"). I've been to Blue Mountain (skiing) Hawk Mountain (Walking/watching) and Blue Mountain Winery (quaffing) so I may have your location triangulated. Very pretty up there.
I'm 68. Only in the Rockies (and occasionally Northern Adirondacks) have I skied snow that fell in ratios you stated, no offense). I wish, but not happening that we see those here, with this storm.
Thats a great hypothesis and concur. My place is about 10-12 miles ENE of WxWatcher007 in SLK- on the base of the Northern slope of Whiteface Mountain. Its around 1900 ft. I see the same phenomenon (and did this morning, too) regularly of slight enehanced upslope rates/accumulation overnight. Thanks for characterizing what I've noticed but hadn't articulated! Interesting.
Sorry for delay... It snows at lot there...1860 foot elevation at foot of Whiteface- not like the Green Mountain Spine- but just keeps chugging along. Last year was a good year for duration- basically no rain from early Dec- Mar. Was damn deep in the woods!
Heres the thread you created when asked before. Thanks
