    It would’ve been called nor’easter in the yore years. Heavy snow and strong NE winds.

    What’s the problem with NYC?
  3. dendrite
    JB is ACATT so he will be great in a winter like this

    Tied for the largest spring 24hr drop at CON since at least 1950. I don’t recall the May 1992 one but that looks brutal too.

    I joked last night, but all of those Fall River roofs were blown almost clean. It has to go somewhere. But yeah…it’s like rainfall totals in a legit hurricane. Good freakin luck. If you really want to get serious and have the space…NWS GRR once experimented with automated snow measuring and put concentric snow fences around it to cut down on drifting. https://www.weather.gov/grr/snowsensor

    March 98 laughed at pack in NNE.
  7. dendrite
    Yup. That’s when you know which observers to hand out the scarlet letter to.

    How do you even clear in 40+ mph winds without already fallen snow drifting or blowing back into your cleared area (essentially filling the bowl back in). I think I’d be tempted to measure this at the very end as well. Luckily I rarely get much wind with my snow.

    We should plot the grades on a map at the end of winter

    A on pack (mostly semi deep since 12/2) B on cold (consistent but nothing high end) C on snow (basically running near avg) D on intangibles (too much nickle and diming…missing the biggies…little rain is a plus B-/C+

    Good thing it was Cantore and not Bob Stokes

    Let me out.

    I’m still hoping Legro can fit freshet into an AFD one of these Marches.

    Let’s melt it all in a few days and get a cutter on top of it.

    Emotional trauma aside…I agree with Scoot. There’s strong ens/AI support for a big warmup toward d10 and beyond. But I still need to see it inside d5 without it breaking down.

    Kevin has been controlling the weather with his weenie all winter. Hopefully he flips the switch with it soon.

    It’s been a persistent pocket of cold in the northeast…just a little too much for up here (snowfall wise).
  19. dendrite
    It has to end sometime, but I’m broken down to the point where I’ll believe it when I see it.
  20. dendrite
    Yeah if you’re an A after DJF it’s locked in…especially down there.

    Looks like PYM shat the bed before 11z…power issue? Maybe the raw obs will be saved. I’ll try to remember to check in a week or so.
  22. dendrite
    Yup…wind failed at TAN. Interesting. Still they had a stretch with frequent gusts over 40 before it crapped out. 1045-1252z…lame. I’d count it.

    That’s rare now too because they have heated ultrasonics. I believe the old cup ones were heated as well. But there were some cases of bad readings yesterday where the snow and wind was so heavy it was probably trying to cake up on the transducers faster than it could melt.

    They were all young and grafted by myself. The plan was to plant many of them this spring in the field. They were untouched above the snow line. Bastards.

    It was easier to meet criteria before ASOS because human observers had no problem reporting 0sm, 1/16sm, and 1/8sm. ASOS rarely reports M1/4sm and there’s the 5 min obs and SPECIs that catch brief lulls down to 1/2sm. Wind is difficult too, but allowing frequent gusts over 30kt helps.
