I wipe the boards once every 24 hours.  For me it's consistently at midnight so it happened that I cleared the boards about mid-way through the storm and added 9" + 8" to total 17".  If the same snowfall distribution had occured in a calendar day instead of crossing midnight, I would have had about 14.5".  I am not particularly comfortable with such random differences.

I have no reason to doubt the Providence numbers one way or the other, but I'd be very surprised if the max depth was even 6 inches within their 38 inch total. 

I actually checked the data there. They had 5 inches depth before the storm started and 21 inch depth at midnight last night. Hmmmm, measuring every hour maybe on a clean board? Even Newark airport 27.2 inches snow, max depth 18 inches. This is why snowfall measurements are somewhat exasperating.

Yet the airport at Providence had a depth at midnight last night of 21 inches. Somebody doesn't know how to use a yardstick. Plus there was snow on the ground in most of those locations before the storm started.

42.0 on  the nose

I think MMU is right at 40. Wonder whom the highest and lowest in the NYC area is? (Like, how far out do we count in a radius from CPK, 30 miles? 45? More?)

I say 50. By radius I believe that would take you to Newburgh, Toms River, Riverhead LI, and Hackettstown NJ.

Looking at that on a map it should probably be 60.

Not bothering me at all. We had snow on the ground for 3 weeks after the January snowstorm because it was so cold. You wanted us to believe that we could never have a cold winter again. You must be stunned about this winter.

instead of posting you should be outside with the snow before it's gone

The 21" figure is from 7 am yesterday. This morning's 7 am figure was 39".

Hey just to be clear I meant that all in good fun.  I like the contrarian stuff, it keeps things interesting.  I contribute nothing of value here.

Deleting this app would be great for my mental health, but there are too many good and funny posts I would miss in the darkest, coldest time of the year.

Snow depth and water content are a better way to compare apples to apples.  But I still like to see snowfall stats.

That's unreal. I wonder if that set the snow depth record in RHODE island?

It demolished the old record of 30" from February 5, 1961.

Here's the daily climate report, which has now been posted:

The precipitation can't be right.  Better than 25:1 ratios for the entire month assuming none of the 1.66" was rain.

Yes. It seems to be off.
