Typhoon Tip Posted March 10, 2011 Author Share Posted March 10, 2011 I'd still probably give it an A-, but despite the snowfall and snow pack duration...it seems tough to give an A or even an A- when March is a dud. I always feel like March should be a winter month, so if it's crap, then maybe that changes things. I go with a 3 grade average method for winter report cards, using DJF. March is an extra-credit month, which can make or break. But the pith of the season's G.P.A. is based DJF. If you get to an A+ by Feb 28/29, it's over. Meteorological winter is where it should count as scientists. If you get a 50% - or F - out of DJF, and then a 30" jaugernaut event takes place in March, then you're grade gets bumped into passing because your dad bought a new wing addition to some hall for the University. Having said that, I grade for cold and snow, here's the logic. Temperature: Warm departure days = +1 pt; cold departure days also = +1 pt. At the end of the month, subtract the warm total from the cool total, divide by the total number of days in that month, then multiply by 100. That is the grade for cold for that given month. Snow: Easier, total the given months snow total, divide it by the 30-year average for that month, multiply by 100. Once you have December, do the same for Jan and Feb. Then sum them up and divide by 3. That is the grade for the winter, with as said, an opportunity to make up with extra-credit in March. I take the FIT-LWM-BOS-PVD-HFD-PSF for the approximate regional report card, where the above logic is calculated at each site, then the average is taken. For indivuals, just do the same analysis for the point location/site. This is the fairest way to do it that removes personal insanity biases like ..."I didn't get 200", F!" bullschit. Take it or leave it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginx snewx Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Since I tried doing a little cleanup today..probably can lock in an Ash Annihilator...lol. I had to free my hedges from what's left of the snow, and they are in rough shape. Some snapped. Filled up two wheel barrows of limbs just in the front yard, epic mess, glad I jump started during the thaw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginx snewx Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Heard probably the best knowledgeable first selectman interview on the radio ever. WCBS radio in NYC interviewed Bethel CT selectman about the upcoming rain and the effects on his town which suffered flooding this week. The dude knew this week fell on frozen ground and was all runoff, also knew it was the intensity and snowmelt not the amount which caused the problem. He must be a hydrologist or WX hobbyist. Very different to hear town officials actually speak as informed people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
