Kiteboard Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 I am new to this forum. How do you guys measure snow? I saw a picture from CTBlizz with supposed 3.5" the other day, and it looked like 2" at best. This picture looks similar to what I just saw in South Boston, and that's no where close to an inch. I am from Europe, we measure in cm, but regardless, even with large storms, numbers always seem vastly exaggerated here. Almost an inch now on the deck. A little snow in the garland.

Ginx snewx Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 Ok, then they should be good. I have snow (trace or more) in 2002 for ORH on 11/1, 11/2, 11/3, 11/5, 11/6, 11/7, 11/16, 11/17, 11/18, 11/23, 11/27, and 11/29 for 12 occurances. Nice ice storm in there for Mid Nov ending with a burst of SN+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should measure on a snow board...pavement will give you low numbers generally and grass will give you high numbers generally...especially in small events. In major events, it usually doesn't make too much difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weathafella Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 Perhaps the best of all of my birthdays! My wife and I and dog went on a 5 mile snow walk. It started ripping nicely around 11:15. Snowing gently but seems to want to increase. White and cold. The way the first day of met wuntr should be. Thanks to all for the good bday wishes. It's a fine fine day!

And no, not one that you would use at a ski hill. A picnic table works well or a half-sheet of plywood, propped up off the ground. And snow here is measured in whole and tenths of inches. 6.2" for example. Not eighths and sixteenths like found on a typical American ruler. Some people here like to measure in centimeters and then report them in inches. Stat-padding, ftw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 Lol This was posted by Nittany88 in the NNE thread, but figured you would love this endless summer at BTV over the last couple years. November 2012 was the first below normal month in 20 months at BTV, even using the "new" normals (per Nittany's post).... Just a brutal stretch of above average temps. LOL at +12 last March.
