Are they saying snow measurements are handled according to non-scientific and non-quality control the criteria?

Yes.  Absolutely.  Ray has insight into this as well.  

   2 N Rehoboth          25.7   800 AM  3/04  

BUT but but, they TOOK OUT the Burrillville 17.0", and still haven't put mine in.  OK what the hell?  Now they Did tell me.... They have to Watch which towns they post and What amounts they post because Governments give certain treatment to towns based on amounts.  This has to be it... because Providence County is a Mess now.  And 25.7"??  What in Jesus please.  How do they allow that?  16 year old working the data slip that in while playing games on his phone?  

I need to also respect the fact that this was the 13th Biggest Snowstorm during the Great Snow Era (1992-1993).  Albeit I missed 2 of the 13.  So it's the 11th biggest storm I've seen in my life.

Sounds good.

It's possible the other sites didn't clear. I mean, this was a quick, heavy thump of a lot of snow. The other two sites could have had a few inches of compaction while you had a clean slate to pile up another 10" with.

Are you a trained spotter? And was assigned a number with BOX?

Spotter 05-313 Baby.  

And my Untouched Compact Total was 16.25”.  And I sent them the picture of the snow with ruler when it was so and untouched when I had 17” Total.  This storm hardly had compaction which was fun because you shoveled 16” vs. usual for 17” which would be 14.5/15 and you’d feel like you cheated.  RIGHT up through 15.5” the compact total was only 0.5” behind.

How often did you clear?

Yeah and there's even spots in Cumberland that get over 500 feet I think....really variable town...but most live down in the 100-250 foot range

Diamond Hill is even over 600.  But Tower Hill Rd. where Many houses are, are in the 450 range.  

And I cleared once of course.  6 hours in at 2:30.  Had 6.5”.  Had 10.5” after.  Then a little after 8:30 from 3 hours of heavy mood snows with nothing on radar haha.

Did you tell them you are up on a 350 foot hill? That will matter too in a storm like this where you probably were closer to 30F instead of 31-32F like it might be down near the blackstone river.

I explained to them how Cumberland goes from Tons of roads and concrete at 100 to Trees and Seclution at 350.  They didn’t realize it.  I said “Where are these other 2 posters?  This town has its own climate”.  I’d post the picture but you can only post a 0.00003MB picture of lint.

Really?  You of Allllllllllllll people.  I just Jackpotted a storm.  I want the amount there.  Not 30% less as posted not once but 2X.  

I just had a conversation with the NWS for 5 minutes about the fact they have not 1 but 2 amounts in Cumberland, and it's 12.5 and 13.5!!!!!  They said they are going to look into everything with me because I called in during the night keeping up with the amounts.  They're going to see about maybe making a 3rd Cumberland amount of my 17.2".  

17.25”  JACKPOT  In 11 hours.  45” Season.  

It snowed 2.5 hours after my final 17”.  

3.5” or better Rates lasted slightly Longer than February 7, 2003, but not 2 straight hours of 4” per hour.  But more Snow (14” vs. 17.25”).  

2 years in a row with March Quick Bombs.  I want to Thank ORH Will for predicting when I was at 12, that I would hit 16-18.  

Been snowing for 2.5 hours Non-Stop after my 17" Final.  Gotta give 17.25" Final.  

I’ll do a Water Equivalent Test.  

And that RPM that got Ray i trouble 2 days ago nailed it.

18.7 Randolph 

Gonna need pictures from this Randolph Fellow. That’s pretty insane.  

Randolph, KCNM (Me), Scott, Burrillville = 17”  

Just Something Else.  Where are you Scott?  

THE PICTURE IS BACK!  I Refused after my $700 BLOW coming back from the Netherlands a day early in March of 2017.  Going from a 24" Blizzard to 9" of Glop.  I Left the board.  But this.... this was off the charts.

Why are you saying he’s a slant sticker?  

Going by what Ray just said who I trust.   But as log as we're close within a 1/4 inch it's still a Jackpot yes?

Awesome, Tip.

I have heard Harv slant sticks...careful

I have 16.75”, and will do lots of final checks to make sure.  

If I lose my First EVER Jackpot to a potential slant sticker I’ll be very angry.  I’d post my pictures but again, only allow 0.05MB here
