Once again you must be taught. 0.5 qpf zr doesn’t mean 0.5 inch of ice. It means the qpf falls as zr. Eg: the damaging 2008 event didn’t produce 3 inches of ice but up to 3 Inches qpf which fell as zr.
Howard, just from going around town it was jan2015 but I didn’t venture more than a 3 mile radius from my house. A ton of snow otg and bitterly cold. Winter. But as Ray said, nw of 95 was muted somewhat to a more regular big snow vs historic. My friend in Waltham living right on 95 practically thinks about 16 inches.
Biggest snow since I moved to this house September 2015. I reported 22.2 but honestly it could have been more. I didn’t want to over measure but looking around the hood we may have received 24. Either way I’m happy. Now it can melt.
I wonder if we were even aware of some of the differences before the internet. As a kid, I wanted deep cover, enough packed snow for sledding, and no school. Whether I had 8 or 20 inches didn’t matter but it does now.
Well I just finished the cleanup-leaving my car for tomorrow-snowblower back where it belongs and batteries charging. Biggest storm since we moved to this location September of 2015.
