HoarfrostHubb Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 Hillbillies Seriously. There is a path about 200 yards up the street from my house (was going to be a road at some point). Right now there are 4 hunter trucks parked there... Not venturing into the woods this time of year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginx snewx Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 Heating degree data from Nov was a huge negative. Increased heating costs reflected. Most sites are now -50 to -60 from July 1st on. A positive deviation would indicate colder than normal, higher heating costs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 omg...I snowfall stat you don't know? lol I was just checking out BUF...2000-2001 actually has the record 1" at 114 days. For 6", 1976-1977 at 82 days For 12", 1976-1977 at 68 days (blows away the rest) I'm guessing '00-'01 might be the record here too for at least 1" and maybe even the other 2. The problem is that '00-'01 doesn't have official snow depth data here. But from memory of that year, it basically ran the table from before Christmas into early April. I don't think it ever melted out between that. It took a hit in February at one point but not nearly enough to melt it all. Jan-Feb 1961 had 32 consecutive days of over 12" on the ground...and most of that was spent with over 20" on the ground peaking at 42". Checking 1976-1977...that year had 45 days over (35 of them consecutive) 12" on the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 How did 77-78 do? that's #2 here for 12" or more on the ground at 45 days. Actually has more than '76-'77 with 12"+....46 versus 45. However, so close to being a lot more...after the Cleveland Superbomb, ORH snow pack spent 10 consecutive days at 10" or 11" snow depth before getting replenished in the 2/5/78 blizzard. Also had a few 10" days in March that year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 Yea pretty sweet month. I was going to check the hourly obs. What was the problem? Airport wasn't reporting snow back then. Only during decent sized events. They didn't even report traces. Though NWS started doing better reported traces by just seeing if snow was reported by the ASOS at any point...but all of them didn't get into the F6 database back then. So when we reconstructed it, we found several missing days...both of measurable from PNS and ASOS snow obs. IT was a mess between 1995-2004...though by 2002-2004 it wasn't quite as bad, but still some errors in there. Unfortunately the data never made it into NCDC, so the incomplete data is still in there.

ORH_wxman Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 So the hourly ASOS Obs I just looked at were right but the f-6 is not? They should, unless the hourly obs archived were missing SPECI reports. I know that wunderground doesn't always include all of them, thought they are pretty good.
