You nailed it. I had 9.1" on 1.24" liquid for a 7:1 ratio. I haven't done the calculating but that feels like my average here for the past 5 years of records.
The sleet line parked over PWM area, WSW to ENE from midnight to 10AM. Moved as far north as Gorham at one point. South of that I think was raining that whole time. That was the difference from York to PWM to Lava/dryslot/PowderBeard land
Even with 10 hours of IP/SN mix I might have a chance at double digits. Was at 5.8" with the 1PM obs but have had steady rates and great growth since about 3PM.
Mine sunk an inch or so further into the ground after that. Relying on manual depth obs since (always used to validate the stake, but now they're the exclusive measurement method.
Is the antecedent airmass colder than progged up here because of the fresh snow cover? Or does this question make a certain Tolland poster confused?
Didn't expect to be sitting at 16.2°F this early.
Would be a rarity to be sure. Just happy to have warning criteria this winter.
Another 0.7" of 14:1 @ 7PM gives us 8.0" on the event. 0.87" total liquid.
That's me - 6.6" was as of 7AM; 7.3" as of 1PM.
Our ratios are more what I'm accustomed to on the coast:
4:1 at midnight
9:1 at 7AM
12:1 at 1PM
Overall 9:1
