Question for anyone who reports their precip to CoCoRaHS... @Ginx snewx @tamarack
This is my first winter reporting to them and using a snowboard. Tomorrow's event looks to start between 4-5AM. I usually measure at or around 7AM.
If I measure and report tomorrow at 7AM, I will have to wipe the board clean (in order to report appropriately on Friday).
However, wiping the snowboard after only 2 hours of snow could impact the accuracy of my total storm measurement.
I'm inclined to measure and report at 5AM, as I'm sure there will only be a T, then take my storm total measurement when the snow stops mid-morning, and report that on Friday.
Is that what others do for events with timing like this? I did this for an event last week, but it looked like others took their usual 7AM reading, so my observation looked "wrong".
