That's the general sense but what I wrote above is mostly because of inaccurate or lots of snowfall data metrics that are all over the place. In other words, too many cooks in the kitchen using different methods than using a single one. Coops with the settled snowfall is more trustworthy data. As long as the CoCoRaHS match or come in within reason to the Coop data, it is accepted. If it looks way off it is not recorded or data cleaned. Sometimes as people can see some bad/off data gets though on the PNS reports.

The reality is that outside of some real fluffy lake effect type stuff, measuring every 24 vs every 6 hours is only going to move your SLR from 12:1 to 14:1 not 12:1 to 20:1.

does 11.6 in BDL seem high to you?

Our best observer worked the storm so I have faith the total is accurate. There is a certain observer who clears the board every hour but she left at 11 pm.

Thanks. I'm glad they recovered some. That's at least respectable.

True, but the discussion is not really about liquid ratios per se, it was mostly about measuring snowfall. The amount of liquid in let's say 10" of snow can vary more than one believes. The storm 3 weeks ago was very fluffy, like the great lakes, but was measured mostly uniformly across the board.

So, what's the totals in the deathband zone from PVD to Kingston over to Plymouth?

West wey now?

[Warwick WX]

MOAR SNOW coming through here at the airport, visibility has dropped again with falling snow joining the blowing snow from the ground.  Just an absolute pounding:  my mom informed me the all-time record where she grew up in Presque Isle, ME is 28.6 inches.  Crazy to see Warwick overtake the northern frontier in any type of winter record.

[FRWEATHA]

Under that heavy band here. The snow has been unrelenting all day.

Just does not want to end here… jeez…

I can't believe that's still in roughly the same area, crazy...nice storm, left some on the table here but if it wasn't for that band rotting over my head it would be a forgettable nuisance storm, cleaning was tough, running out of room to put the stuff around the sidewalk area, like 5/6' piles on everyone's driveway edge, so what was the max jack? I'm sure it was posted but I don't want to go through 40 pages of posts, I see a couple 30+ amounts in RI/SEMA

Along with others.....just incredible.

I'm really enjoying not having to shovel

I was just telling my wife how I’m jealous of the event for eastern areas, but not really the aftermath.
It’s gonna be a tough week for areas that got 20”-30”.

[TauntonBlizzard2013]

It’s going to be days to dig out here.

Still snowing here. Light snow and 30F. Any snow reports from Enfield? I can't get outside a drift is blocking my door.

I'd guess 10 inches. Hard to tell with all the drifting going on. Spots on my driveway were bare and other spots were 24+.

How powdery is the snow there? That’s obviously gonna be the big difference for some areas.

It’s like cement. Snowblower really struggling

The 20" at BDR is exactly right to me in Stratford. Whoever took over their measurements in the last few years is worlds better than the clowns of the past.

Thrilled for the MA and RI crowd. Epic stuff! Nothing will beat Feb 2013 here where I had the honor of 36", and I love seeing others get to enjoy the same feeling.

[ScituateWX]

Relentless here in Scituate!

Oh wow, that’s not fun and is going to create a lot of problems in a lot of places.

Snow started up again in this one final band .

Yes pretty sure my shitty "Snow Joe" electric snow thrower is not going to handle this well, lol.

Not out of the question... just imagine if we had not been screwed 2 times after the Jan 25-26 event???

Just curious, what was wrong with their measurements of the past? Too high, too low?

Could build an addition out of this stuff, eskimo style.
