I guess maybe if you clear just before IP, then wait 6 hours and clear again before flip? I just waited until the storm was over and do 1 measurement. It's always a controversal issue. No way Northfield got more than me.
Take a look of my records on the snow thread. I had one storm early in the season with 8 in while at the bottom of my Hill was like a slushy 2 in. That helped in a lot of nickel and dimes. But I recorded everything.
740pm SN++ the heaviest snow i have seen with a synoptic system in the past few years other than the crazy meso band in the Dec 2022 storm. Almost snow squall intensity. 14.25"
26.3F Parachutes. Over the past few hours the precipatation has changed from snow to IP and back several times. Most of the time it has been sleet. In the last 5 minutes it has again flipped to snow. Will this be it for the duration? i would think so.
2pm SN- IP- goes back and forth 25.2F Just under 12" but I assume sleet will mash down the pack. I could use a snowboard and reclear in 6 hours but I'm just going to watch the snow stake.
I'm watching your obs carefully as your only 20 miles SSE as the crow flies. I just looked at the HRRR and 12Z GFS and it seems it is nudging colder. Also noted on the HRRR some heavy qpf comes in this evening. The IP line looks to get to me or about 5 miles north. It is going to fun watching how this sets up. I went with 7-14" and still over 1" qpf to come. If this stays snow accums are going to be huge.
Noon SN 24.3F
Thanks guys. In strong Nor'easter downslope off the Whites make Plymouth and my area a bit of a snowhole. I do best in SWFE. So I totally agree no downslope issues. Probably ping for awhile. Snowstake is out and ready!
