It’s definitely weird/hypocritical for winter weather enthusiasts to call out severe enthusiasts. Is there a moral high ground? Also, does it matter? Severe doesn’t happen because people enjoy it. We could all hope it never happens and it still would.
Mixed precipitation in Bedford, NH. Occasionally still mixing with snow but it's mostly rain. Eyeballing, looks like less than last storm where MHT reported 4.6". About 3 to 4 inches.
Might be wrong but I think Wiz mentioned the column never fully saturated on models? Maybe some sublimation going on, under the radar, in any dry layers.
