powderfreak Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 It just keeps dumping at the mountain with 50-60mph winds. Blizzard conditions for like 8 straight hours up here today. Likely over 20" on the mountain now. Hard to tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Such a difference from town where there's no wind.

wxmanmitch Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 14" two day total. Still light snow even though it's clear sky overhead, which is not uncommon in a blocked upslope event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tunafish Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 My CoCoRaHS totals don't reflect storm totals. Maybe I'm doing it wrong. Measured 1.5" on both 1/8 & 1/9 after it stopped snowing each day. My CoCoRaHS reports for 1/7 was 1", 1/8 was .2", and 1/9 was .2" (as that was all that was left when I made my morning observation. I did not wipe my board.) So that PNS will show me at 1.4" when in reality my storm total was 3". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I measured for my event total after snow stopped (or flipped to rain). It was mid-late morning on both days. So by 6AM the next day, it had melted down to .2. Fine for CoCoRaHS, misleading for the PNS that picks up my CoCoRaHS and reports it as an event total. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually if you are home and can do it---you should measure the 1.5" before it flipped to rain mid morning and note the 1.5" and LE, then report that as new snow the next morning. So new snow would be 1.5 to cocorahs with the snow LE. Now if you not home and couldn't measure the 1.5" and then it rained and it was .2" when you got home, then you would report .2" From Cocorahs One of the difficulties with accurate and consistent snowfall measurement is related to the melting, settling, or evaporation of snow before you have a chance to measure it (especially in the Fall and Spring). Please try to do a measurement as close in time to when the storm ends as possible. Don't wait until 7AM if the snow ended the previous day. During long-duration snowfalls, you may choose to measure and clear the snowboard every six hours. The total snowfall would then be the summation of the different measurements Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dryslot Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 I try to report every 6 hrs, Clear the board on that interval and report to the WFO, Or when the storm ends, I'm also reporting to local TV affiliates so have to get them totals before they go live with their reports.
