  1. I think it’s simple. You got a fluff job and the timing of your clearing probably allowed for primo stacking as the best bands moved in. I don’t think your measuring was flawed.
  2. I wasn’t calling BS. Was trying to see how it jived with radar.
  3. But upslope is fake snow. Death band snow is similar.
  4. Honestly Ray, we know how OCD you are with measuring. As long as you were there and believe you did everything as best as you could, then that’s all that matters. Seriously.
  5. And on top of that, Dendrite brought up an excellent point about timing of your brush off with respect to bands. Sure it wouldn’t make a 6” difference, but your coincidental timing made it minimalize compaction.
  6. Snow measuring is a joke. You have multiple methods as accepted.
  7. His response seemed to indicate it was storm total and not new snow which he thought I implied.
  8. I guess we are all ignorant to the sniff test these days.
  9. That's an interesting setup with the flow out of the northeast in the mid levels while you have NW flow below 6000ft or so.
  10. I find it funny that they retweeted this other guy from Wilimington who had 23 an change and a 3.2" liquid core. LMAO.
  11. I agree with you and Will about the 6 hrs. It just makes more sense to me with all the reasons stated.
  12. But now you have two different ways to measure snow. The airports who seem to do every 6 hours, and the COOP guys. Ugh.
  13. So many rules are vague. I wish they kept it 6 hrs since so many are used to that. Previous records are based on that.
  14. I thought OceanSt was saying many first order stations clear the board or what have you, every 6 hrs. And what the heck defines intermediate depth measurements? every hr? every 6 hrs?
  15. Don't first order stations clear the board every 6 hrs?
  16. It may not do it justice after settling. Even here at work it settled a bit.
  17. Thing with April 97, is that we had widespread 28-32" final depth. I think that is was amazed me.
  18. That storm was a KU of damage. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
