    The winter equipment install happens today for @tunafish, the season is officially open for business.

    I had a great fruit set this year too, but I think leaf curl got me and the fruit shriveled up and fell off. I have one lonely peach left. (Redhaven)

    Algorithms might be getting tricked by some of the bad data due to scatter spikes. But I could see siggy hail in there.

    Just a primer for Debby

    I haven't been at the office since April, so I suspect I know nothing. I hadn't seen any email traffic about it, but that doesn't mean it wasn't being discussed on the internal chat.

    Two feet after the equinox to claw my way to normal snowfall. Just how you draw it up in the pre-winter meetings.

    As someone who has never experienced totality, I'm sure it looks the same way just before totality arrives, but seeing the eclipse shadow pass JUST to our north was pretty cool in its own right. We took the kids out of school and drove as far north as my in-laws (99.12%), but we weren't about to trap ourselves in the car with them in the traffic to the north. Dark enough to see Venus and Jupiter, the kids got a kick out of it.

    Who started early on happy hour near AFN?

    Was he just coming home from last night?

    I'll stick with what USGS goes with. They will revise as they get more data too.

    At that time WSO CON forecast for all of NH, WSO PWM had everything south of a Jackman to Danforth line, and WSO CAR had the rest.
  12. OceanStWx
    Yeah, we're down hard here. It's been the easiest morning after a snowstorm I've ever had.

    1982 wasn't bad. Little lighter for BTV, much bigger for SNE.

    I just wasn't convinced the dry slot would saturate as well as it did. Models started getting a better handle of it 00z the night before for at least a few hours of deformation banding, but when that DGZ is dry I get worried about forecasting big totals. I think we did a really good job of keeping the QPF but knocking the ratios way down so we didn't have some obscene widespread 24+ forecast sneak out the door.

    The reality is that the previous observer was probably equally far from PWM, just on the cold side. I haven't been down to the peninsula today, but I'm guessing they have less snow downtown that I do.

    I was having a real hard time buying an additional 6" after 12z for a lot of locations yesterday, but it is looking like it is going be pretty widespread.

    WMUR also reporting 9.5 storm total.
  18. OceanStWx
    Nah. It's a pretty common mistake that I make all the time. I think Charlie found 3 consecutive obs of blizzard conditions (if you forego the "less than" 1/4 mile bit). But 3 consecutive obs is actually only 2 hours of time. You need 3 hours, so it's really 4 consecutive obs.

    Just stay within 5 miles or so of the Jetport. It is amazing the difference across town. The previous observer was in North Deering (not far from where I am).

    We couldn't reach them at 18z, but the METAR had a 6 inch snow depth. Based on their previous report we estimated 4.4" additional snow to reach that 6" depth. It could be 5.5" depth rounded up, so maybe you could take that down to 3.9", but it's still a snowfall of 5.5" plus whatever fell after 18z.
  21. OceanStWx
    Listen, no snow forecast is ever going to be perfect in all locations, but this is going to be a pretty great forecast for a difficult April storm. We'll see what the map looks like later today (though our phones are down, so we may have to delay until we can talk to all the Coops, etc), but I think it's going to look pretty good compared to even our Tuesday maps.

    Time to move. I'm over 50" for the season now on the northern outskirts of PWM.
  23. OceanStWx
  24. OceanStWx
    Even if you just made those months average (and March was below too) I would be near 80" for MBY. That's a solid +20 for the PWM area.
  25. OceanStWx
    I know the phones were out for the observer there, so we had trouble getting a total. We were estimating 6 inches at 18z yesterday.
