  1. Don't be afraid to be honest...if you want to call BS, please do....I stand by it, and I think your work will confirm that. Appreciate the analysis. FYI...check out the Reading, MA coop for April 1997...total snowfall was 27", but max depth was 21". My max depth was 23.7"..snowfall 31".
  2. Scott, here is my second clearing at 5pm.....20.5" First clearing was 8" at 11am. I received over 4"/hr rates between about 5 and 7pm.
  3. I added a pretty extensive passage regarding this. PS: The Reading coop made up with the 1.7" that I had estimated. http://easternmassweather.blogspot.com/2018/03/meteorological-deflategate-editorial.html
  4. Not a whiteboard, but I had other flat surfaces to ensure that that depth was representative, which it was and always is. Very protected area...depth was a pretty uniform 24"+.

  6. No qualm with this, and I agree....my point isn't that some folks are foolish for not agreeing that Wilmington has the largest cryophallic in the land, but rather that we need to have one universal method. Chances are that I didn't get the absolute most snow, but its even more likely that we'll never know because its apples to oranges and we need to fix that.
  7. The problem with max depth is that you need to be retired and/or have no life to accurately capture that consistently. Why are airports permitted to employ the 6 hourly method and not any other entity or person?
  8. I'm sorry, Tom is a smart kid, but in a large event like that, peak depth is not an accurate assessment of snowfall....want to know what Is? The amount of snow that FELL from the sky...no $hit. If they want peak storm depth, then ask for that.
  9. Less than 32 is not the only way to lose snow to settling compacting...the high ratio snow compacts and sublimated a good deal in high ratio, protracted events. Sell that to the LES guys who "get" 50, but measure 35. This was a case like that, Tom.
  10. Even if it was an accident...use common sense and correct it.
  11. I measured every 6 hours, and once again they have removed my measurement. Done with BOX....last report I submit.
  12. So much subjectivity...anyway, 24.7" peak depth....31" snowfall.
  13. That's on me...I need to do the training....that, graphics and seasonal temp anomalies are on my summer to do list. Oh, yea...and marriage.
