tamarack Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Mount Shasta. haha! The wind speeds are even more crazy then the snowfall amounts. Faked me out - I'd have guessed Rainier. Enough snow 6-7 this evening to whiten the ground, looks like 0.1". Unless there's enough additional flakes to add a bit, that will all sublimate during the night, as it's probably about 0.003" LE.

J.Spin Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 I want to j.spins posts when he takes the L.E. of .2" of snow LOL, that’s how I obtain accurate liquid numbers for CoCoRaHS. We’ve talked about it in the forum before, but even in a sheltered location like ours, trying to accurately catch snow in a rain gauge/bucket style setup just doesn’t fly: In the upslope zone, a significant part of the liquid equivalent can come from these daily snowfalls, so skipping them would definitely underreport the total liquid. On that note, we’re getting toward 4” of snow for the current event, so assuming a snow density similar to what I found earlier (although it’s probably a bit drier with the falling temperatures) it should help out the monthly liquid.

powderfreak Posted November 30, 2012 Author Share Posted November 30, 2012 I didn't think it would snow this long....going over 7 hours of steady light snow with heavier bursts at MVL in the valley here. Been snowing on the mountain for several hours longer. I thought it'd be a like 2-4hr type deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted November 30, 2012 Author Share Posted November 30, 2012 Still dumping on lincoln peak webcam. Radar looks impressive. Pf-curious what elevation setting you use on the wunderground radar and why. It depends on the event, but for the most part, the composite radar gives by far the best idea of what is falling in the higher elevations above 2,000ft. Below that dry air can cause less precip than the composite would indicate, so then I use some of the lower scans just to make sure its getting to the surface, but they can be misleading pretty quickly past the Spine and are blocked out to a degree by the terrain.
