If they were wiping a board at 6 hour increments, that should have translated to approximately another 1.5". If not, that most likely did not increase the maximum snow depth.

Although the Jan 25 snow is still there. This will most likely take us into March with continuous snow cover since January. We just finished shoveling out and it was a very different experience from the January cold-powder/sleet oxymoron storm. Today, the bottom of the snow was melted and heavy next to the pavement, but after a little initial melting the moisture remaining after we shoveled froze pretty quickly into a skating rink. There was no melting or icing of the bottom of the snow pack in the January storm. FYI, the water equivalent today was very similar to the January storm; 1.9" then vs 1.83" today.

Is the CP Conservancy supposed to follow FAA standards or COOP? ...not withstanding that they sometimes seem to follow neither

Unlike the park, they do measure and start over every 6 hours. Not only that, they report new snow every hour. It is very unlikely to exceed their totals using a different measuring protocol (non FAA), but that's just the way it is. I don't have a major issue with today. ISP had hours more accumulating snowfall than there was here despite being only 8 or 9 miles away as the crow flies. I am a wee bit envious of those who didn't spend a huge chunk of the storm in a subsidence hole, or whatever that was. On the other hand, we're still digging out and the xc skiing will be great.

Some whiff, eh?

That extra 5 hours of S+ was bound to make a difference.

ISP is the anti-Central Park

I'm not ungrateful How much at the stake?

Storm total here 17.1" @IrishRob17, interesting measurements: 9.0" of snow through midnight melted down to 0.79" (11.4:1). I cleared the boards at midnight (my standard is once per 24 hours at midnight) 8.1" new measured on the boards a short while ago. Sample from that hasn't melted yet. I had 4.5" at the stake before the snow started and 18" now. The 4.5 inches is rock hard and did not compact, so you know the front 9 sure did. It is possible the snow could have been a little higher on the stake earlier, maybe 19". Alas, if we do manage to get another inch or two, it probably won't increase the snow depth.

By contrast, we had a trace during that same timeframe

Could be worse. I just got 17" of crumbs. How did it go there?

From your lips to God's ears, but so far every time it looks that way the hole comes roaring back. HRRR says we could get another inch, but it also says it should be snowing here now and it's not. My total is 17", so not the worst skunking ever.

Yup. Might be my imagination, but there seems to be some kind of voodoo that gets us in the largest storms. At least it's still a lot of snow.

Probably, but not more than another inch, maybe two. I hope I'm wrong.

Addendum: this hole was showing up on the mesos, but I wrote it off as just an oddity of the map rendering software. That's excellent detail from the SR models. Latest HRRRRRR indicates we may get a relative break soon, but only crumbs left at that point.

Haven't measured yet today, but snow stake is at 18" implying at least a 14" snowfall. We've had nothing since 7am; three hours and counting in this crazy little snow hole over the north shore of central LI. At least one sizeable limb is down from a hemlock out back.

I caught a transformer blowing and the power going out (other side of our street...we're still on for the moment) at 5:21 am: https://www.instagram.com/p/DVGObqykfDt/?igsh=NWl2N3VwYTczZWVj The second video was a few moments before.

0/0 out there

Looking pretty blizzardy:

That's exactly what I am doing.

9.0 inches of snow on 2/22 brings our seasonal total to 40.1"

As of 12:00 am measured 9.0". Snow depth is 14". Temp/dp is 30.2/29.5. Snow of varying intensity, mostly light to moderate since then. It's windy, but well short of blizzard criteria on both wind and viz.

No puking snow ... or old fashioneds

Yup. So much for the idea that surface temps affect ratios.
