Please tell me that's a 10:1 from the QPF and I'll be a happy man

Thank you for this, I was always wondering what the Kuchera algo was, and what it was good for given the many comments. Your synopsis begs the question, why is your preferred approach not available as an algorithmic output? .

Insane depths in the Southern Adirondacks. Or, to be completely honest, more like the depths I recall as a kid in the 70’s .

This has been hashed out endlessly in football forums far and wide. It apparently takes about 1 1/2 weeks until the acclimation process kicks in to the point you are better off. Short of that, you are best off getting there the day before.

Thanks! I just checked the closest station here in south Wayland about a mile north of the Pike and a similar thing happened here as well

Very nice illustration of your point. Thanks for showing. Where did you get the data, BTW?

I’m really happy to hear this. I got the snow bug when we moved from TX to Albany when I was 7, and the first winter my Dad made it part of our routine that I would help him shovel the snow, which I had never seen before. BTW, that was the winter of 69-70, and so I remember thinking this is just like Charlie Brown where I see people wading in snow up to their waists. .

That sounds about right. As a testimonial, I grew up in Albany, which averages in the low 60's, and traveled frequently with my Dad to Brattleboro. The aggregate snow amounts seemed similar.

That's exactly what I was wondering looking at your wave map. The southern tip of NS being ground zero.

From your computer screen to God's ears, I hope. Flying West early Saturday from Logan and am kinda nervous about getting out.

S+++++ Reminds of when my buddy, who worked at NCAR for a few years, sent me a screed some guy who worked there wrote about how S++ meant something very different to the upslope Colorado folks than to us mere mortals out East.

And to think my wife used to babysit his kids. He still lives in the same house, BTW. Harvey is the best.

It's an average, you dolts. He explained that in his original post. This is almost as bad as the idiots who opine about how we can't know that the yearly average temperature for some location was 0.3F higher, cuz our thermometers only read in increments of 1F. Sorry to pick you out, you were just one of several making this point. OK, now I feel better. If you want to make fun of him for significant digits, I'm with you.

In late January 1982 I was in Lyndonville, VT for a college XC ski race. We knew a storm was coming though it was hellaciously cold ahead of it, and when we woke up that morning it was -10F and snowing really hard outside. Did my race (which was a real pain given the conditions), and then we all piled into our coaches Subaru and headed back to Boston. Went through heavy snow and eventually ice, but somehow made it safely back to Boston. One of the reasons I remember this so clearly is that when I got back to my dorm I heard that a plane had just slid off the runway at Logan, killing two passengers.

And be careful where you park your car.
