This is always an interesting discussion, do you clear every 6 hours?
-
Agreed, if one waits hours after its done to measure its going to be off. You always measure at the end of the event, so in that case I measure after 8 hours because the storm is over. You also need to measure at the point there's a change in precipitation type. I'm a snowpack guy anyway so what truly matters to me is what is at the stake each day.
-
If I did the every 6 hours thing my 38.5" YTD would be closer to 50".
-
You mentioned "it was the 24 hour method"? How are you measuring these days, do you clear the board ever 6 hours? It's the constant debate whether we should clear every 6 or 24 hours and in the last NWS guidance @NorthShoreWx and I have found the 6 hour method is out for hobbiests like ourselves.

It's a balmy 26 this morning.
-
I'm wondering how many deer I may find in the spring. Spring of 2015 we found three deer carcasses, all had starved to death due to the snow cover and size of the herd at the time.
-
-1° for the low.
-
1.6° currently, maybe I can sneak in another below zero morning.
-
38.5"
-
My station is up to 34.
-
Up to 31.6 at home
-
I'm up to 24 at home now. The below freezing streak may end today for me, at nine days, which is the second longest streak I've recorded.
-
Managed a low of -1 at 7:47am up to 19 now.
-
Looking further, that’s quite a cold pool of air just to my northeast this morning, lots of below zero. To the southwest it’s warmer, relatively speaking.
-
KMGJ, two miles up the road is currently -7 and I'm +3. I always find this stuff interesting, I don't recall ever having such a large difference with KMGJ.
-
What was your measurement this morning?
-
I’m with ya on this. Sure I’ll pay more for heating this season but we’ve been getting off easy for years. I’ll likely tire of it around the same time you will. I’d like to get some more snow though. As much as I’m enjoying it I’m also looking forward to that first mild calm sunny day to have a pint on the deck, preferably while there’s still a pack out there.

This morning’s snow depth
-
-3 for the low with 12" at both stakes.
-
+1 for the low, big whoop.
-
It wasn't a lock here and I can radiate pretty good, especially with snow on the ground, low of +1 (+.6). I've been dead calm since 3am, clouds must've messed it up. Meh for me when compared to earlier in the week. I did beat KMGJ which appears have only went to +2.
-
Agreed. It's not windy per se but it's too windy here for the temps to really drop, 8/-2.
-
I was watching closely for a bit this morning and every time the temp would start dropping again a slight breeze, like 3mph, would kick up and the temp would rise a degree or two.
-
Low of +2 this morning. Maybe I get a below zero reading right before midnight to keep my streak going but it looks to be too windy for me.
-
The breeze has kept me above zero, sitting at +3, my below zero streak up here may end at four days as a result. Although if it doesn't go below in the next hour or so I could go below before midnight, keeping the streak alive.
