But I assume most of those obs were COOP. People measured like weenies back then too. What’s that 27” in NE CT? Sticks out like a sore thumb. How they did it in Feb 2026 at PVD i do not know but they all continue that standard somehow even in the most windy blizzards with lots of drifting and blowing snow. This was pretty extensive published by the state climate extremes committee (SCEC) on the record https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/monitoring-content/extremes/scec/reports/20260331-Rhode-Island-24-Hour-Snowfall.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
