Tis the season. Good morning Rob/BSL. As you can see, in anticipation, I’ve installed a snow gauge. I’ve cleared a small patch of bare ground boarded by a century old clothesline pole and surrounded by the last oak leaf drifts of fall. The gauge will report what the postage stamp receives in my UHI blessed, ocean loving, coastal plain, urban location. Many may say that a 6 or 12 inch gauge, at most, would suffice for my location. My purchase of a 36 inch gauge, accurately labeled as optimism wrapped in insanity, was actually done with fore thought. Bigger than 6 inches is always better. Thank you and all my kind and patient friends in the NW & NE Burbs. As always …. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CPcantmeasuresnow Posted December 13, 2025 Share Posted December 13, 2025 Entering day 11 of continuous snow cover, although we're about at 80% coverage now. Pretty amazing from 2.8 inches of sow through the period. Hopefully the bare spots get covered up with another 2-3 inches tonight. Two would be great from this setup, 3 would be a pleasant surprise. To those out there that keep track. When do you call the snow cover done? I use at least a one inch cover over 75% of visible land area, sun and shade. Right now I'm 2-2.5 inch in shady spots, one inch in most sunny areas with about 20% bare ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now I'm 2-2.5 inch in shady spots, one inch in most sunny areas with about 20% bare ground. Yeah, that’s always up to debate. For me I found a spot in the yard for my snow stake that is out from under the trees and is a good indicator of when I get down to 50% coverage or less. So when there’s nothing at my stake I just call it patchy snow cover. Case in point, 2.5” at the stake this morning but I have bare spots under trees. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthShoreWx Posted December 13, 2025 Share Posted December 13, 2025 I go with greater than 50% coverage >= 1", but that's highly subjective. Sometimes if it seems to meet that criteria but looks wrong, I'll call it a trace. Pretty sure I am a lot less restrictive than airports. Anyone else notice how fast they go to zero snow cover while all around them is still buried? I think as soon as a bare spot is visible, they call it a trace or something like that. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravitylover Posted December 14, 2025 Share Posted December 14, 2025 Other than the notorious torch spots I like to see full cover of at least 1". When more than just the torch spots start opening up that's it for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishRob17 Posted December 14, 2025 Author Share Posted December 14, 2025 3” or so out there, measured 2.8” earlier. This powder is sure to blow and drift a decent amount over the next couple days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPcantmeasuresnow Posted December 14, 2025 Share Posted December 14, 2025 A very surprising 4.2 new inches on the ground as of 6:30 am. Anything after this is gravy. Day 13 of snow cover and counting. Late week high 40's will test things but Christmas week doesn't look anything like the torch the warm mongers had been touting a week ago. 28.2° light/moderate snow 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CPcantmeasuresnow Posted December 14, 2025 Share Posted December 14, 2025 4.8 inches of new snow with light snow continuing 25.5° All accomplished without even a winter weather advisory. Love surprise over performers. 7.9 inches now for the month, last December was 8.5. Two decent Decembers now in a row. Maybe December is finally making a comeback after a few down years. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No WWA for Orange County was strange for sure. Most guidance had 2-4”. Looks like 3-5” for the county with 5-7” down in Sussex 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
