I still have some patches of snow and ice IMBY, mostly in shady spots. So that’s been 27 days of snow on the ground. December gets an “F” but January gets an “A” for sure.

If space weather counts, then the solar eclipse (in Bristolville, OH) and the Oct. 10 aurora IMBY were the obvious winners. For non-space stuff, it would have to be the beautiful dry weather stretch in October.

I told you guys before, in the new normal it only snows in January. Peak climo has moved up and the window of significant snow opportunities has been compressed IMHO

0.4" for this storm, bringing the monthly total to 13.9". My target now is: 1) keeping the snowpack all month 2) clinching snowiest month ever IMBY (the record for that is 16.7" in January 2022). Let's keep the nickels-and-dimes going!

It just wants to snow IMBY this year no matter what. Roads and sidewalks are starting to cave.

GL to you all up north. I just want to get on the board here again to keep the snowpack going (I’ve had snowcover since Jan 3, which is nuts for this place). Another 0.1”-0.5” is good enough for me.

For once I’d like to see a snowfall contest clinched by February. This might be the year. @George BM

0.8” final total on the snowboard. Roads and sidewalks didn’t fully cave. This is day nine of snowcover IMBY so I’ll take the little refresh.

I remember Jan. 2000 very well, but I don’t think we’ll ever see such a huge bust in the short range like that again; models have come a long way since then, especially in the last decade.

Snow-on-snow-on-snow for me, I'll take anything.

That’s always how it’s been historically, but over the last decade it seems to have shifted to the first three weeks of January. I have no idea if that’s just a weird coincidence like Dec. 5 was in the 2000’s, or if it’s a shift towards a new normal.

Yes I’m a trained spotter with an ID, been sending in reports for a decade now. The issue seems to be that I am in the same location as State Highway (1 S Prince Frederick in their metadata) so whomever sends in the latest report overwrites the other. Or at least that’s what I was told. This issue never occurred until last year, when they started using “Dept of Highways” measurements. In the case of State Highway next to my house, the measurements are always too low and appear to be snow depth (that’s my guess anyway).

I just logged in and saw this post but this is the hardest I’ve ever laughed at anything on this forum since Jebman‘s epic 2015 meltdown at the SNE dude lmao

@MillvilleWx We’re having the “Dept of Highways” issue with LWX again- they took away my 9.5” from noon and replaced it with an inaccurately low 9.0” from State Highway (which is right next to me) at 5pm. I just sent in my final 11.6” total so we’ll see if they post it in the next update. I’m seeing a bunch of those measurements in the reports again, wonder how accurate they really are…
