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. 

Excellent

If I did the every 6 hours thing my 38.5" YTD would be closer to 50".

Do you want to measure the amount of snow that fell or just compacted snow. 24 hrs with say a 8 hrs snow event.  I measure 6 and then 2. The next day after either melting or drying out your measure could for arguments sake be 5 inches. That's what often happened in the record book. So how much snow actually fell . I say 8

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. 

Every 6

Interesting timing difference.. GFS/NAM vs EURO .. EURO slowly bleeds the cold in Saturday afternoon.. NAM/GFS are much more of a "whoosh" with NAM showing an 18 degree in one hour temp drop around daybreak here..  ICON/Canadian more in line with the EURO, so it's American guidance vs foreign. 

Icon slams -27 850s in

Iconic slams the whole Arctic in here

Which ones? Everything I’m looking at looks pretty paltry, unless a scattered inch is what you’re looking for.

Im certainly not sure where some are seeing 2-4, 3-6, nothing shows even close to that 

Nam? Looks pretty stout especially for you to Cape. Also lots of heavy squalls OES.

I don’t think I’ll ever have that sense of feeling like I had with that storm ever again. The Blizzard a few years ago had tinges of that, but to this day, nothing will compare to the feeling I felt there in that storm.

Totally under measured. All 24

Totally under measured as it was the 24 hr method. I bet 3 foot plus coops had up to 4.5 inches qpf 

Key Snowfall Totals (March 31 – April 1, 1997)

Milford, MA: 36 inches

Worcester, MA: 33–34.5 inches

Jaffrey, NH: 27 inches

Boston, MA (Logan Airport): 25.4 inches

Burrillville, RI: 30.5–31 inches

Shrewsbury, MA: 30 inches

Cranston, RI: 24 inches

Westfield, MA: 24 inches

Providence, RI (Downtown): 19.5 inches 

Depth down to 12. Time to refresh 

Jan 94 I was- 8BN with 23 inches of snow with a wicked ice storm 

1 more Feb 1995 and  the year summary you know why SRI sucks for snow. Although Dec 95 was awesome

what area did that cover and is there anything still available that i can use?

I looked hard but NADA. I have a couple of newsletters but summer editions. Literally hundreds of observers from RI Conn Mass. This was the form I  used

Reports were tough to come by back then, all we had was essentially COOP and climate sites. NWS just had started doing public information statements during the 96-97 winter. BOX did not do them 95-96. I just wanted to showcase the insane difference of reports now vs 30 years ago when we were essentially pre-internet era (i know dial up existed). It makes doing these analysis maps so much more difficult and time consuming but way more accurate and i am grateful for the huge network of spotters and various programs we have in the 2020s. 

It's odd because we had reports in our RICONN wx observation network from PVD

it's there now. limited number of reports as there was no cocorahs at the time and NWS wasn't doing snowfall PNS yet...so it's just COOP and climo sites to go off of. But its up with radar/sfc/snowfall maps. 

No Jan 94?

Lol I will toss that.

Of course you will but it's from a certified wx station sanctioned by Cuba wx service so there is that

The reason why I go off on ACATT stuff both here and from online is how they either just assume ACATT no matter what and don’t look at anything, or they completely misinterpret things like PV disruption. Look at what’s happened now with the split. And btw the weeklies failed too so let’s not hump them just because they are cold and snowy. So many clowns out there.

How can something fail if it hasn't happened yet ? My recollection is weeklies had a moderation mid month before it dug back in? Those 5 day averages fool people

Pretty good consistency with that VD Day Miller B on the GFS.

Have 2014 VD sleet in my nightmares. Couldn't snow blower 8 inches of sleet and if you like shoveling sand it was cool
