Went out and measured 17.0" average on the ground. Now I'm annoyed I didn't set up a board so I could clear at the appropriate intervals - would've probably managed 20". Was mostly IP and/or ZR from 12pm to 6pm. Will measure SWE tomorrow morning.
8:25pm report of 18.5" here in Bradford, NH. I'll go grab a measurement of my own here in a bit but that seems accurate.
Pretty amazing given there was a multiple hour switch to IP and ZR in the middle.
These hand rails only had about 0.2" of IP/ZR crud on them before it flipped back to snow and they're already past the point where they can't hold anymore.
Edit: I only have a screengrab from a video of the railing after it already flipped back, but these were taken only 48 minutes apart.
I really was too overconfident in its ability to stand up to snow and should have cleared it off more than the one time I did before going to bed. Thankfully there's nothing really delicate or important in there.
Looks like weather is going to put a bit of a hold on the barn project, so here's an update! See also the (mostly accurate) framing model I put together. (I don't plan on leaving the rafter tails like that, for example.)
Oh, I should make it clear that I'm fully in the March has been anomalous in its warmth camp, I'm just generically warning against the use of means/averages as be-all end-all descriptors.
This month torchy.
Yeah, I know. In my hypothetical scenario the first half is departed on average by minus 30 degrees, and the last half, by plus 30. An extreme example, but this includes avg temp for the whole 24 hour day. I'm not talking max or min averages.
