McDude Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 North East winds seem to be picking up... Not sure if that will help with LES or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Can see the LE band developing/getting going out over the Lake on radar.. I think that's what I'm getting now. The back edge has moved off, but still snowing. Steady Low - Moderate sized flakes that seems to have a better structure then earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye_wx Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 The average depth on my snow board is 3.9 inches. I used my 4" cocorahs gauge to take a core sample and melt it down. The liquid total was 0.45". Yes, that is an 8.7 to 1 ratio. After the first 1.25 inches the ratio was 12.5 to 1, but as always once the snow piles up and settles/compacts the ratio plummets. In the last ten days I've had three snows, during which it was cold to very cold. The three final ratios I've measured are 9.5 to 1, 10 to 1, and 8.7 to 1. These are downright terrible numbers that sound wrong, but it's a simple measurement that really can't be screwed up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
