  1. They're like gangs. We like to refer to them by the local territory where they reside. They probably fight the other gangs around them for new territory.
  2. There is a small residential area(street) just N of the downtown area that sits on a n elevated plateau above the valley. It's about 1,800ft. Would fit the 1.4 NE.
  3. But it takes any human element out of the measurement.
  4. That's your opinion. My opinion would be to move to measuring what has fallen at the end of any given specific snowfall and report that.
  5. I'm not saying to not compare sites, but the differences in totals would likely be minimal over any given season/storm, and it really doesn't make a huge difference in real-world impact from a day to day perspective. I would think that is more important to the NWS.
  6. The only compromising is if you are trying to compare one site vs another if they use different accepted measuring methods. The integrity of the data for the individual site is correct/accurate. Because snow is inherently a difficult thing to measure, I have no issue with different methods being accepted.
  7. Why? Is what they are reporting inaccurate based on current accepted methodology? You know what you measured was accurate. You only took issue when what you reported was taken off the PNS. Does it diminish in any way what fell in your location vs the ones left on the list?
  8. There is no scientific way to measure snow/snowfall without human interaction. It's the only weather phenomenon that I know of that has this. I feel getting across the impacts of any given potential snowfall is more important then what actually falls and/or is measured by any given observer.
  9. I’m with you, it’s just snow. Emotional about whether someone saw 18” or 24”. At the end of the day, you know what you measured is right.
  10. If not for the 1.20” and 1/2” of snow, my lawn was good to go for cleanup. No mud, and firm to walk on.
  11. Those things a re a workhorse. I bought my HRX in 2004. I just recently had to replace the carburetor on it. The drive cables have also had to be replaced but that's about it. Pretty much a 1st pull start mower to this day.
