If one more person says something about "facts", I really am gonna go apeshit!! All the facts are on my side!!

What the F?! The first 6 are completely wrong: there was 0 snow in April 1895 as Coatesville correctly records -- West Chester was rewriting the precip in the snowfall column! Dec 1909 is the one we're already talking about: Coatesville 39.3" vs WC, 22.5" and Feb 1895 Gordon had 28.2" and WC 15.75"!! Man amateurs! What, you just have these tabulated without ever looking at the originals?!! Just go here IPS - Record of Climatological Observations - Select State | IPS | National Climatic Data Center (NCDC) (noaa.gov) Yes, WC had 2.6" more in Nov 1898 -- whoa, call the snow police. Man, you are an amateur -- At best!

So give me the dates so I check them! I'm saying that the guy only cared to inflate them on the big storms -- the ones people would remember and talk about to this day, like we are, and say "man that Coatesville, they were the big winners again"!! For this Gordon, big snow totals = big weiner I guess, LOL And what was 1895 about, just a red herring?? And Iv'e already posted good LV stuff and will continue.

What a strange way to get attention: be a weather observer and inflate your totals!!! I guess it's better than cooking the books of a business or being a drunk school bus driver, but come on!!

Which 70 days? Not that it really matters, the guy only wanted to be a ham and have the biggest total in the big storms! He was starved for attention I guess, LOL!! And what's this 1895 you mentioned?

And what does this mean:?? "Also maybe we should look at why Coatesville's observer Mr Gordon only reported 51.4" of snow in 1895 while West Chester reported a whopping 79.4" "

One thing I can say for sure: If I ever write a book, it won't include this garbage data!!

LOL I'd really like to see you see you try that

Since you keep missing the point, I'm gonna spell this out like I was talking to a 4-year or old (or Sean Hannity). From 1894 to 1909, this guy, at one station, reported far and away the highest total EVERY SINGLE TIME. Show me a station since then where that has happened. You can't because there is none!! Yes every storm has a highest value -- but it's NOT ALWAYS AT THE SAME PLACE!!!

1895? The year? Also I'll admit that this guy's observations may make more sense if he was at a significantly higher elevation, maybe 700 to 900 feet outside of the town but even then it's hard to believe

LOL, I'm just kidding around! but I think I have strong case to NCEI and I've already made the case here

So I did the next best thing and got on Newspapers.com but Coatesville is such a little hick nothing town that they don't even have their own old paper and are rarely mentioned in other papers except when they report their newest instance of remarkable incest and/or bestiality/necrophilia!!! LOL

And I'm from Allentown. you guys are too dumb to see what's right in front of you that's why Chesco can't directly refute even 1 event!!

Your talking 40 miles, I'm talking 10. Your talking 10" I'm talking 20"!!! Apples and oranges man!! Just go out and enjoy and the lake effect and don't trouble your pretty head with something you don't understand!!

If you haven't looked at the data, you really shouldn't comment at all!! Cause then your'e just talking out of your youKnowWHat!

For sure! I have nothing personal against these records -- I'm not trying to take the record away and give it to another location that I have a special affinity for! I just like to know the truth. If we had just accepted numbers without investigating then the 24-hour snowfall record would now be the 77 inches at Montague, NY in January 1997, which is why I asked how often you measure snowfall.

These are 20" differences over a season, I'm talking 20" differences for a storm!! And that map doesn't show the line going through Coatesville since Coatesville isn't labeled on it. Well since neither Chesco nor anyone else has been able to address any of these besides vague statements of banding and elevation, I think I have a really good argument to NCEI. And just so you don't think I'm a hack, I'm a master's student in ATMO at U of Arizona.

Well first of all, the 29.2" in April 1894 should probably be closer to 10" -- thats all that's supported by KS and WC. Perhaps he heard about those higher depths and fudged his numbers. I don't believe that there was much if any quality control back then as compared to today -- they just accepted the numbers. And newspapers frequently give their own totals, I know from experience having looked at alot of newspapers. You've been quiet on Dec 1909 and Jan 1905, how about those?

We gotta figure it out, LOL!!

I can't find Coatesville papers online. If you find corroboration for any one of these 4 storms in the local paper, I'll send you $50!!

That's circular logic, that's just based on their 29 inch total, LOL!!

Yes I already mentioned these totals in south central PA, I'm talking about a newspaper, from Coatesville (or somewhere else), that says Coatesville got these amounts. BTW what a dumb name for a town, LOL

I'm not a trained spotter but I know the rules. So how about those newspapers? I'm sure they would mention 2 feet of snow in April!

What's so unique about it, it's just a little higher?! That's true everywhere else and nowhere is there this disparity. Show me another place. There's no lake effect, no mountains, no nothing. It's just incompetent observations which have been dismissed before. Show me a newspaper that backs up any of it and I'll stand corrected. BTW how often do you measure snowfall when it snows?
