  1. Ugh. Back down into the wedge after hitting 45F. Down to 36F, but it keeps bouncing around depending on the mixing.
  2. 34.6F and -RA at home. CON is back down to 38F from 41F.
  3. Wow. 53F at the STEM and mid 30s for HFD/BDL and even IJD. Hills FTL.
  4. -11° for AFN this morning. I wonder if they’ve ever been the coldest in the state on a strong rad night in winter.
  5. I do love me some hoar frost on a frigid morning. Nothing beats driving through diamond dust though.
  6. heh...I had a few of these "sunny" SHSN in the afternoon too. It'll be interesting to see how much we dam. The models seem to be getting the 50F dews in here rather easily.
  7. Just melted down 0.09” liquid...so about 17:1 ratios.
  8. 27.0° -SN/SN Maybe an inch and a half out there? I’ll measure in a bit. Looks like it should be done within an hour.
  9. Would it be a problem adding a few more years so we can add totals from seasons prior to whatever you have there (2010-11 I think?). My first season with data here was 06-07.
  10. They should keep a stat for liquid equivalent in the form of snow/sleet. Basically the monthly precipitation with the RA and ZR filtered out. I know in the climo data of yore a lot of weenies separated the two out like that, but most just labeled any snowfall as 10:1. So you got a lot of 5" / 0.50" garbage.
  11. I don't get a lot of paste outside of the bookend portions of the season, but I get plenty of dense powder from all of the SWFEs. I kinda like that type of snow...it gives the feeling of powder, but it doesn't get cut in half 12hrs later nor sublimate away after the first glimpse of a BINOVC. For infrastructure effects, really it's just SWE that matters. I always laugh when a place near BUF gets like 50" of LES and within a few days the pack is like 6". Once the plows toss it to the side, 30" of 30:1 LES looks the same as 10" of 10:1 in the snowbanks and it doesn't take any more force for the plows to push it.
