WVclimo Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Wow, looking at those numbers, my area really overperformed. MRB had 0.11", but I measured 0.19" and HGR had 0.24" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fozz Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Those are some pathetic numbers for DC and Baltimore, but I guess ratios were better than most of us expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 i think the gfs did pretty well overall around here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomeguyfromTakomaPark Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 It seems like the GFS was pretty close and consistent for DCA with keepin us right around 0.10, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhineasC Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 That BOS QPF seems low. Isn't SNE getting 30 inches? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weathervswife Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 So a trace would be half of what? Or two traces add up to what? Or if I multiply two traces and divide by two, what's that? Or if I take the NAM qpf and just divide that in half, is it a trace. I'm not real good at the new math. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amped Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Hard to believe any reports over 20 with < 1.00 inches liquid.One of the two numbers has to be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stellarfun Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Hartford got 24 inches of snow out of 1.38 QPF. Providence 12.2 inches out of 1.08 QPF; Worcester 21.1 inches out of 1.58; Boston 14.6 inches out of 1.40. Hartford seems to have over-produced, without being near lake effect fluff.

dendrite Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Guys...don't believe some of the numbers that are getting spewed from the ASOS gauges. They're better than they used to be, but there is still some undercatch with stronger winds even with a wind screen in place. A snow core melted down will give you the best representation of water equiv and only some coop sites still do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the total snow depths are less too.
