If you would be interested, I could make two maps of everyone's snowfall in Geographic Information System (GIS) software. The first would be a simple dot map, the second would be a contoured map. To do so, I will need a list compiled in Excel containing five fields.

  1. City
  2. Latitude
  3. Longitude
  4. State
  5. Snow total in inches reported to the nearest tenth (Example: 11.5)

Thoughts? Perhaps a mod could compile the information for me?

Great idea, but we should probably wait for a few more weeks just in case we get a fluke. No point in redoing work.

I'm still stuck at 2.75". All the Ts in the world can't help that.

I can't even post my totals because I never measured. MBY was particularly atrocious this year. I'm pretty certain that no single "event" exceeded .75". At least it wasn't cold this year. Getting a virtual shutout while shivering is even worse.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

Agreed. I would like to wait until the first week of April, but wanted to plant the seed now.

That was my exact intent, it's all part of my elaborate scheme. Muahaha :ph34r:

With 1.25" falling this morning I am now at 5.25" for the season.

I'm a bit higher than you at 5.75". I received nearly 0.25" from the thundersnow super-front several weeks back, 4" from the southern storm 2 weeks ago and 1.5" this morning.

All-in-all, this winter has sucked big donkey balls, especially in terms of cold. But, thanks to the snow recently, I can't call it the worst of all time.

An article in the Gazette (MoCo local rag) talking about the great health of the snow removal budget says our 14 inches this year have really helped with the salt supplies. 14"? Where?
