what part of southbury

and did Kim Jong Un measure or was it you?

KJU did whenever he felt like shoveling. He got 16-20” measurements in the backyard to spot checking the 18.75” total from clearing. . 

Roof assisted? Possible…but no way to know. Make it 17” for your records to match @Spanks45if you prefer but he lives in the valley with first part of storm being warm I probably accumulated before him. my book is confirmed and closed at 18.75” though lol.

14" in Trumbull.  

To paraphrase Frank Costanza at the airing of grievances, "I have a lot of problems with the way snow is measured these days".  Let's look at BDR:

On 2/22 they recorded 5", but never more than 2" on the ground.  What?

On 2/23 they recorded 15" with 18" on the ground.  So, tons of settling on the 22cnd, but none under a load of snow on the 23rd?  

Also, they show 1.5" LE on the 23rd to match the 15" of snow.  This reeks of "I don't feel like going out and measuring, let's just use 10:1 and call it 15".

As my kids used to say, "we call shenanigans".  They called it shenanigans; I call it bullshit.

Did TF Green not get anymore snow after 7pm yesterday.  That is the last report I can find for them.

PVD is showing 35.5" for 2/23 and 6.7" for 2/22. That's 42.2" for those counting at home. I'm not sure if this is correct yet, but thats what the two daily CLI summaries show right now. 

 

edit: I'm an idiot, that was monthly total on 2/22....yeah they are still 37,9 as CLI on 2/22 was 2.4

2 inches difference for such a short distance.

You had 16"?  I didn't measure as frequently as you.  I only did so around dawn and at the end. 

Yeah I try to measure as often as I can due to compression. I learned this lesson in March 2018 during the snowstorm that knocked down trees and took out power.

I luckily went outside to measure and recorded 10.5. Then I went back out about 45 minutes later cause it was still snowing and suddenly I measured less. So even though the snow was still falling the lower rate combined with the heavy water content compacted it when I assumed it would have increased.

If I had only measured at the end I would not have gotten the correct highest accumulation for the storm.

Other than the town of Oxford (western Maine) which had only a trace, our 0.2" is the lowest amount reported to cocorahs, as of 11 this morning.  :lol:   
(5-6 sites reported precip but left snowfall as NA.  Other sites in those areas all had at least 1" snow and up to 5".  Tops in Maine is 11.3" in Washington County.)

I get 34.5” measuring different areas in back yard.  I’m 4 miles SSW from PVD.  Incredible storm.   For me, 1978 is still number 1.  I was living in Providence then and while we may have had more snow, the ferocity of 1978 coupled with the societal impacts sets it apart.  I was also in central NJ for 1996, that’s number 2 for me…
