  1. You can see the low/mid level upslope on sat dumping over your area and casting a shadow over the lower overcast. https://weather.cod.edu/satrad/exper/?parms=subregional-New_England-02-48-1-100-1&checked=counties-map&colorbar=undefined
  2. 2/14/07 is the latest according to NOWdata. That’s the only season that lagged into Feb.
  3. Another nice squall. Seasons in seasons. 31°
  4. Squall just ended here...nice little dusting and +SN for a good 10-15 mins. Unfortunately we wasted it while dropping from 38F to 32F.
  5. May be a bit of a hybrid, but squalls are convective in nature. Maybe the hydrometer is almost totally melting in a warmer layer before being thrown back into a subfreezing portion of the cloud.
  6. Decent snow squall. Temp plummeting down into the low 30s now with the ground trying to whiten.
  7. https://www.amazon.com/d/Rain-Gauges/Stratus-Precision-Mounting-Bracket-Weather/B000X3KTHS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1546747585&sr=8-1 great way to calibrate the electronic ones too
  8. Was playing with snapchat earlier. I found this filter way too much fun.
  9. Thanks for the quick recs. Was looking at the all steel Ariens and a 28” 243cc Craftsman. Will check the Toro out more too Steve.
  10. Does anyone have a snow blower they’d recommend in the $700-900 range?
  11. I would say measure at 7am. That's generally what they want. The other thing you could do is have 2 boards (or if yours is big enough just 1) and measure the liquid equivalent with one board and leave the other unwiped to let the compaction do its thing. With a large board you could maybe sneak a core sample from off the edge. Just make sure to subtract the liquid from your first sample from the final one from the second sample to get the amount of liquid for only part 2.
  12. Could still be some inflating of the w.e. with all of the drifting too. Those surface crystals must've been obliterated and really compacted in the pack.
  13. Fun Fact My low temps over the last 19 days have all been warmer than my Thanksgiving high temp.
  14. One last question... Do you have any way of knowing how much of the 0.34" w.e. on 12/17 fell before 5z (16th) and afterward? I took a core in the morning and had 1.2"/0.32", but was too lazy to be up at midnight to figure out how to divvy it up. I'll just use their ratios. btw...what kind of gauge do they have? They seemed to be one of the few NEPP sites that accurately reports liquid with frozen precip real time. I assume it's some kind of weighing gauge with an antifreeze solution?
  15. I picture you opening up the pdf of your forecast every night, turning on some Peter Cetera, and singing this to it every night before you fall asleep.
  16. Nice. I can just use that. Do you know of a larger archive of that data? I haven't checked around on ISU yet.
  17. Jesus time flies. Looks like the last obs to make it into Mesowest were in Nov 2015.
  18. It's been awhile. Over a year.
  19. Well it definitely isn't midnight. 12/31 0.00" 01/01 0.80"
