Friday February 6 FROPA / WINDEX small event

[The 4 Seasons]

@ORH_wxman @CoastalWx So did Logan get 5.2 or 5.4? Their PNS and ob on the interactive map says 5.2 but they recorded 0.2 on the 6th before midnight and Feb 7th says 5.2. 

One of them is an error 

I'm gonna go with 5.4 since thats what's in the record books

 

[ORH_wxman]

Yeah unless they change the F6 data then I’d go 5.4. 
 

Id prob hedge higher anyway since they had 4.2” at 1pm and got smoked for a while. I thought they’d finish with 6”+. 

[CoastalWx]

Yeah 5.4 makes sense.

QPF is also off...nearly 40:1 ratios. i figure bad catch again from the winds yesterday, shame they don't fix that.

ORH is more reasonable 5.2/0.31 17:1

For Logan? I’ve mentioned this before, but their gauge is always off. Dendrite mentioned that it shouldn’t be based on the type, but they are always low. Always.

ORH used to have that problem. Not as much these days but check out some of their old reports from the 2000s and 2010s. Some of the storms are like 50 to 1 ratios.

Even in all rain events they’re low. Especially if wind is involved. At first I thought it was coincidence, but in the events where I’ve compared around, they are low when wind is involved. 
 

I’m sure when snow is involved it’s worse.

The heated tipping buckets early in the ASOS era were terrible. I think they’re all over to weighing gauges with antifreeze now.
