    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.

    Stations are fine. I have to take a look at the read up and obs

    D+ so far

    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?

    Should be unlimited now…not sure why the met group was set to 70.

    Blue Hill record is 38.7” from Feb 69.

    It remember looking at my 34” 5 years ago and thinking that was the peak for my lifetime.

    Patfan hiccup. I think he has tapatalk issues? He needs to talk to Lava.

    Do you have a can of Campbell’s soup? That’s about 4” tall.

    Just barely beat me to it. Really impressive.

    How many 20-24”+ storms have you had since these forums started?
  16. dendrite
    I think the only reason it’s 24hr is because they don’t want to force their volunteer observers to take readings more than once per day.

    I wonder how many huts are on the compound.

    Winter s.w.e. is so bad at a lot of sites. Pure junk.

    Yeah…they reported 32.8” at 1pm. The ASOS ob had a depth gain of 32” at that time. So their official is running a little over the depth change. So it’s probably 35-36” right now.

    35” on 0.67” so far then

    Although I see PVD reports snow pack water equiv every 18z…it was 1.5” yesterday and 4.1” at 18z today. So roughly 2.6” of liquid from their 32.8” new at 1pm.
  22. dendrite
    Too bad the water equiv at the ASOS is useless. Hopefully they augment that by melting the w.e. down.
  23. dendrite
    PVD 1/40”

    Some of that has to be reaching you below the beam with N-NNE wind?
