    How do you even clear in 40+ mph winds without already fallen snow drifting or blowing back into your cleared area (essentially filling the bowl back in). I think I’d be tempted to measure this at the very end as well. Luckily I rarely get much wind with my snow.

    We should plot the grades on a map at the end of winter

    A on pack (mostly semi deep since 12/2) B on cold (consistent but nothing high end) C on snow (basically running near avg) D on intangibles (too much nickle and diming…missing the biggies…little rain is a plus B-/C+

    Good thing it was Cantore and not Bob Stokes

    Let me out.

    I’m still hoping Legro can fit freshet into an AFD one of these Marches.

    Let’s melt it all in a few days and get a cutter on top of it.

    Emotional trauma aside…I agree with Scoot. There’s strong ens/AI support for a big warmup toward d10 and beyond. But I still need to see it inside d5 without it breaking down.

    Kevin has been controlling the weather with his weenie all winter. Hopefully he flips the switch with it soon.

    It’s been a persistent pocket of cold in the northeast…just a little too much for up here (snowfall wise).

    It has to end sometime, but I’m broken down to the point where I’ll believe it when I see it.
  13. dendrite
    Yeah if you’re an A after DJF it’s locked in…especially down there.

    Looks like PYM shat the bed before 11z…power issue? Maybe the raw obs will be saved. I’ll try to remember to check in a week or so.

    Yup…wind failed at TAN. Interesting. Still they had a stretch with frequent gusts over 40 before it crapped out. 1045-1252z…lame. I’d count it.

    That’s rare now too because they have heated ultrasonics. I believe the old cup ones were heated as well. But there were some cases of bad readings yesterday where the snow and wind was so heavy it was probably trying to cake up on the transducers faster than it could melt.

    They were all young and grafted by myself. The plan was to plant many of them this spring in the field. They were untouched above the snow line. Bastards.

    It was easier to meet criteria before ASOS because human observers had no problem reporting 0sm, 1/16sm, and 1/8sm. ASOS rarely reports M1/4sm and there’s the 5 min obs and SPECIs that catch brief lulls down to 1/2sm. Wind is difficult too, but allowing frequent gusts over 30kt helps.

    Precip ID or the vis too? I can’t recall many times seeing the vis sensor fail.

    The only saving grace has been the deep pack which is good for my pawpaw trees. OTOH, fucking voles girdled and killed every single one of my 50+ young pear and apple trees under the snow.
  21. dendrite
    Stations are fine. I have to take a look at the read up and obs
  22. dendrite
    D+ so far
  23. dendrite
    If half of the land area is homes and all of the snow blows off the roofs does that make the depth on the ground twice as high?
  24. dendrite
    Should be unlimited now…not sure why the met group was set to 70.

    Blue Hill record is 38.7” from Feb 69.
