How would this system be an example of that? lol.

Ha, I was just coming here to post that... I thought scattered showers, not a slug of synoptic rain. 47F with a steady rain, looks like some mid-level band racing through. Hopefully a sign of what’s to come in winter . Waking up to mid-level magic...

Can’t wait for winter when you are finding the models that give the least amount of snow.

Showers coming tomorrow? Except for Steins force field area of course.

It is great, hilarious content.

A lot of the great lines and phrases on the forum come from a frustrated Ray in a winter event lol.

A lot of it came out through a couple solid baths, but she’s going to smell for a while. The last time a dog of mine was hit I could still smell the exact spray point (below her neck that must’ve taken a direct hit) a month later. That time a skunk was under the porch and the dog walked outside and just got immediately blasted through the decking. It basically sprayed into our place as the door was open and in direct aim. That took a long time to get the smell out of the house.

It was a fitting night for this Red Sox fan cheering on the Indians... Yanks come back to win in the 9th right as the dog got sprayed by the skunk. Terrible night lol.

You need to get the stratus gauge I think and more events to test. I’d have a hard time with that guy not being complete as his notes even mention when a moose farts behind his house between 4:15pm and 4:17pm. I’ve never seen a Cocorahs with that much daily description every single day lol. At 10:46pm on 9/27 there were 5,670,545 stars in the sky.

Dog just got smoked by a skunk at 11:15pm on her last time out.... damnit! Its retreated to between us and the river, so into the bath tub we go.

Saw so many ads for that race on NESN when watching the Sox, who were still sucking at the end of the season. Every commercial break seemed to be one or the other.

I've never seen you so down on interesting weather outcomes... hopefully you regain your mojo this winter. Would hate for a model to be showing a windy nor'easter snowstorm and have you scoff at it. Just wouldn't be the same with you poo-pooing every possible system. We'd have to send you to Taunton.

That looks nice for the areas that need it most now. Just fun to see that coastal low progs.

Gotcha. It’s not about an even percent error it’s basically when it rains hard it records high. Sometimes I do notice that on the PWS network I guess... night before you see all these totals that seem higher but then CoCoRAHS comes out in the morning and it’s generally lower than the vibe you get from the Wunderground maps/networks.

Just got home to an additional 0.14”, I think it was all from one final burst of showers late morning. Storm total 2.85”.

I feel like that's much more normal than the other way around... the electronic tippers seem more prone to being on the high side though Dryslot in the last post proved not always. It makes sense though in big rain events if you consider it as a percentage of error, right? In lighter events you may only notice a very slight difference, but as you magnify the rainfall the difference between the two will grow. @dendrite is the expert on these things but if that's say an 8-9% error, in a lighter rain event that's only the difference of 0.50" vs. 0.54", which may not be as noticeable?

Yeah that weekend is usually too late as it is, this year that long weekend might as well be in November.

No I do the morning report part-time and my buddy Andre does it the other days. It's complicated, ha. I work for the resort still, full-time year round. I do many different things, it keeps me alive to be flexible. Food and Beverage is the only department I haven't worked in basically... marketing, operations, facilities, etc. I'm no one-trick pony which has seemed to help me navigate the transition of companies. Now I'm in Rental/Retail Operations management, taking advantage of lots of product gear testing, chatting with reps, etc.

Nope I moved out of there, just part-time contract work with marketing. Marketing and Sales was moving further away from skiing and I need to get out daily. I bounce around, currently in Rental/Retail Operations. Just sell marketing photos and measure their snow on the side.

BTV’s daily climate map through 7am... more fell in the eastern side of this map after that time. Most models did pretty well in this area with widespread 2”+ amounts.

Bye bye leaves.

No bueno for winter. It definitely wasn’t steady Eddie.

I cracked my outer Stratus one winter with ice, had to get a new one. My fault, it was frozen with ice and I dropped it by accident on the porch. Thing shattered with a frozen hockey puck in the bottom.

GFS seemed more stable too... the EURO was going east and west with a lot more variability it seemed. Hard in that regard to say exactly what the Euro had as the past two days were all different it seemed, lol.

The Stratus that they all use (that’s what I use) has a massive over-flow basin... that thing can take like a foot of rain.
