thank you so much. This is now my all time favorite post on this entire forum. You are truly a master at work and I mean that non sarcastically. Between the random zeros and dots it’s a modern day masterpiece.

AS I said earlier today, I cannot guarantee the accuracy of the report because I did not make the measurement . You and I both want accurate measurement and reporting. I am with you 100% on that.

We seem to have a mentally challenged  intruder. Psu ,who is  obsessed with global warming and a huge decrease of D.C. snowfall.    Psu , I am very sorry to disappoint you, but I totally agree that earlier reported snowfall totals cannot be trusted. 

YOU are calling psu mentally challenged? Jfc, why did I ever unmute you?  
 

My fault, everyone.

I know I shouldn’t stir the pot, but I was bored and it’s soooo easy with him.

Providence, RI ended up with 37.9"...that's bonkers. Easily a record for them.

Data from satellites and NOAA doesn't support it at all.  Most of the NWS snowfall reports come from NWS Employees, trained spotters, Park/ Forest Srvc, etc.  Notice the one outlier on the map?  It isn't an official NWS number.  It is the number reported by the resort that has an incentive to over inflate its numbers.

We are not hopeless because we use our brains and logic.  Do you really think it is realistic that the only measurement of 15" of snow in Virginia came from a 3000' mountain in Nelson County?  Not the 4500' mountains of northern and western Augusta County? Not the northern Shenandoah Valley?  Do you think it is plausible that Wintergreen was the only measurement (outside of WV) of 15" of snow that is southwest of greater Philadelphia?

Finally, I will just say this.  My coworker Monica and her husband Chris live up there in a condominium and they told me they got 6", maybe 7" at the most.

I'm very sorry, but 4500 ft.  mts. in northern and western Augusta County do not exist.................

You goofed on that.

@WesternFringe  There is 0 chance that 15" report is accurate, for all the reasons you eloquently laid out in a logical rational scientific way.  There is also a 0% change that stormy will accept any of those rational logical arguments.  

Your such a bore with your illogical tripe.

  0% chance that an NWS report is accurate??? You just destroyed credibility for your "beating a dead horse" tirades about D.C. snowfall collapse.

Can you please define "0% change"
