Collinsville Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 So does .21 sound right or you think I had a bit more? You had more for sure. I had .32" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowNH Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 <p>LOL Ha Thanks... Did anyone see that Setup on the Euro for day 6-7? Looks semi interesting...Then Torch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginx snewx Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 <p> You had more for sure. I had .32" .23 at IJD his neighbor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Collinsville Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 1.65" for the month here. March 2006 only had .99" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damage In Tolland Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 You had more for sure. I had .32" I thought it might be a bit low. Prob closer to .30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowNH Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 <p>Early call for next year? If we have a remotely close to normal winter next year its going to feel like we got 200" of snow lol. Tracking a 3-6" snowstorm will feel like tracking a 12-18" storm next year. But, can you imagine if next years winter sucks too lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CT Rain Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 I thought it might be a bit low. Prob closer to .30 BDL .35 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT Rain Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 I thought it might be a bit low. Prob closer to .30 I think those automated rain gauges never work that well. The 4" cylinder is the way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Typhoon Tip Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Dead ratter but not as bad so it will be tenable. Longer term statistical inference strongly argues against though. This year's lack of snow pushed the climate envelope and is among the top 5 - check that - which the odds of achieving that before any given winter begins is obviously on the remoter side. Doing it two winters in a row would be fantastically rare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doing it two winters in a row would be fantastically rare. I disagree. You can easily have two back-to-back below average winters. That's all WxFella was saying... not as bad as this winter, but below average (ie dead ratter). Climate stats is a long-term thing... given the string of above normal winters in the past 10-12 years (most climate sites are averaging like 6-20" higher during that time than their 30/50 year averages), its not hard to imagine a string or set of years below average. I know up at BTV, since 2000, they are avereaging like two feet above the 100-year average. I almost think they are due for a decade of below average winters to make up for it.

Damage In Tolland Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 I think those automated rain gauges never work that well.That's what I have the big black one but it's digital. But with melted snow it always seems a little low The 4" cylinder is the way to go. Thats what I have but it's digital.

I believe we're heading to a 3rd year of Nina. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 These things are always a pain to forecast. It seems like 20% of the time they really go to town and overperform... the rest of the time cutting model QPF is generally the way to go. Just getting back from being out all afternoon but it looks like BDL measured 0.3" (you prob already saw)....we got a coating here but no measurable...a whopping 0.04" of qpf. It seems like so many systems this year have not been "clean" systems....very sloppy with the precip shields and forcing. Even the system that gave 6-10" to the interior N of the CT/MA border on 2/29-3/1 was really sloppy in its dynamics and strung out over 30 hours in multiple rounds. We haven't had a nice "easy" system to pin down heavy qpf since the October storm. Anyone out near Norfolk get 3"+? Looked like they could have done ok as they were actually under decent echoes for longer than anyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 I thought it might be a bit low. Prob closer to .30 That makes sense..about 7 to 1 ratio. I figured this system would have about 8 to 1 here and lower as you went down in elevation and latitude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
