  1. Looks like mid May to hit 48 again. But it should be around 44 on average right now.
  2. Looks like BOX only has two blizzard warnings in December since 2005 (2009 and 2010). And none since 2018.
  3. Temp drifting? Those are totally separate sensors obviously. Thermometer measuring temp and the ice sensor measuring the frequency change on a plate to estimate ice accumulation.
  4. Looks like ORH measured 0.46" flat. That works out to somewhere between 0.15 and 0.20" radial. Those ice sensors throw out some looking numbers, but they do a pretty good job.
  5. I didn't measure when I got home at 8, but I only had 2.7" just before midnight so you already had the 2 inch lead on me. Seems like it was that coastal front enhancement.
  6. For one we can get the midnight to midnight totals easier that way, and two you do get the extra hour sleep
  7. The gradient on CoCoRaHS looks to be SW to NE, higher totals to the SW of Casco Bay dropping off towards Brunswick. What did you have around midnight, because that's when it looked like it was really going to town on radar.
  8. I think the more ragged nature of the system made for some weird distribution of amounts. I measured both what fell in my gauge and took a core sample and got 0.36" and 0.38". The ASOS measured 0.58" and @tunafish had 0.73" on the other side of the Jetport. That's like 7 or 8 miles as the crow flies. Then heading north QPE is back up to around 0.5" by the time you reach GYX.
  9. 4.9" on 0.38" liquid. Jetport out to an early lead over me despite my elevation advantage.
  10. 2.7” off 0.18” liquid. I may have to do a core sample, those 4” gauges can be a little light.
  11. Happening just on the cold side of the coastal front. Good news is the front seems to be holding if not drifting farther offshore.
  12. I would say it’s close, someone either in the southern Greens or around Sunapee might jack. Like freak said, someone who does well in blocked southeast flow that helped during the day today before the goodies tonight.
  13. Yeah, I think my snow map would’ve been a little more conservative than ours yesterday afternoon but I was overruled 2 to 1.
  14. Drive home featured lots of needles with the odd solo dendrite. Makes sense when you consider that we didn’t hit -10 until 578 mb on the balloon.
  15. I would imagine it stalls/slows as the heavier lift develops but I'm still assuming MHT succumbs around 8:30.
  16. The thing to remember about the WSW text too is that its an average across all zones included in that warning segment. So in this case everywhere from Pittsburg to Nashua. So it's a broad range.
  17. Now we don't have to rely solely on Scooter when he's visiting the lake for complaints about our snow forecasts! Well when you call it over when the event starts, sure. We still have you for 3 to 4 inches overnight and that is pretty much the consensus of models too. Things are a little ragged now, but the forecast is for the DGZ to saturate more thoroughly like 03-06z as the low gets a little deeper towards the Cape. That's your window for most of the accumulation.
  18. Minus some missing data which shouldn't skew the results that much for a long climate record like BOS, the average is 26% of years with 1 inch on the ground.
  19. The meat wasn't really supposed to start until after 18z, so if you still see the sun then you can panic.
  20. Yeah BOS records are in shambles from the 90s because they can't get Will's reconstructed data officially listed, but I do see a 11 inch snow depth in 1995.
