dendrite

No I mean that’s when they report the depth if they report it at all. 00z/06z/12z/18z. If it’s once per day it’s usually 12z.

They do if they have a manned observer augmenting the obs

You’ll sometimes just see snow depth in a METAR as well. Usually 0/6/12/18z. 4/ddd Where ddd is the depth in inches. So 24” would be 4/024.

Snow increasing rapidly Now you see something like SNINCR 2/24 2”/hr and 24” depth

Yeah I didn’t think it was 6hr since it was a 23z ob anyway. I think snoincr now is just the hourly rate if >= 1”/hr and then the pack depth.

SNOINCR 3/10/11 is 3” in the last hour and then I forget if the coding back then was 10” in the past 6hrs or 10” for the storm. And then I think the 11” is the current depth. SLP is in every ob in tenths of a mb. So SLP875 is 987.5mb. I think anything coded as 500+ gets a 9 in front of it (low pressure) and anything sub 500 gets a 10 (high pressure).

No gust data, but the Nov 50 sustained winds are always fun to look at.

On a somewhat related note… The weather was a little more wintry on this day 31 years ago.

There was a a pretty good warm up a week before it as well. These are CON’s records.

2012 obvi isn’t happening and never was, but that was toward the equinox. We’re still a week out from that.

Who had 90s?

The euro is turning into the nam. Just pick the version you like the best.

22.1” the last 2 seasons combined

Alternating warmth and moderating cold. Not scared.

+8/+12/+10 We’re running April climo.

Yeah idk how this isn’t warm for the first 1/3 of March. Almost +8F on the highs and more big + anomalies on the way.

Maxes and mins are about even up here anomaly wise…maybe more biased toward mins down there and especially toward the coast after some of those onshore flow airmasses. But 2012 was a unicorn and the first dozen days of March are a little early for consistent records in the 70s. But I agree…we’re losing perspective of what should be a “torch” this time of year and it’s further clouded by DIT’s days and days 70s and 80s which was never really a possibility. Everything has to go right for 70+ this time of year.

Even last year at this time we had a ton of snow. Banks up to my head.

MWN gusted to 151mph lol

It’s a torch month so far with the lack of cold, but still beer for the 2012 references. Maybe more 2010 like?

Def a chilly one. Only a +2 on the day for CON so far.

PSF 60, ORH 59, FIT 54, BAF 52, CON 52 Another impressive CAA wind day

Thoughts and prayers to the fruit trees in the midwest.

It’s ramping up here as well. 6p-12a may be the peak.
