They are okay for snow depth, but not so much for official measurements of new snowfall since there's no way to automatically clear the board without moving parts (unless you want to invest in something really expensive). The NWS really tries to refrain from sensors with moving parts (hence the move to ultrasonic anemometers). Infrared sensors can struggle with depth measurements with sunshine, but that wouldn't be a huge issue while snow is falling. Ultrasonics aren't perfect either, especially with high ratio snows, although the technology has gotten better. But yeah, I think the clearing is the issue.

I could go for a week of 45° and sun...a steady melt where we evaporate the meltwater as we go. Good tree tappin weather too.

I’m going to start taking snow obs at the Isles of Shoals and call it PSM.

Sounds good. It's possible the other sites didn't clear. I mean, this was a quick, heavy thump of a lot of snow. The other two sites could have had a few inches of compaction while you had a clean slate to pile up another 10" with.

3:1? Was he high?

How often did you clear?

Still waiting on a part. That sucks. I always feel like death after the first shoveling of the season. Right now I feel like I could do another 2 driveways.

32.1F -SN 5.2"/0.46" Just spent 4.5hrs shoveling.

5.1” here

That’s 0.89” in 3hr. That is batshit crazy.

0.36” in the can from 4-5a for MQE. Idk if I’ve ever seen that.

lol at all of the schools closing up here. Friggin snowflakes.

Looks like Wilmington will easily defeat Methuen.

looks like PVD is mixing.

lol

Where did Chris say they were measuring? Deer Island or Point Shirley?

Well 34° probably fits where they’re actually measuring.

0.66”/3hr at MQE. Probably a 10”+ spot in that time frame.

Past hourly water equivs... MQE 0.29” BOS 0.24” PVD 0.22” ORH 0.19”

BOS with 0.20” in the past 51 mins.

Be prepared to get angry
