DomNH Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 I just caught you lol Yeah you're just going to nick me on this one. I think I'm probably a local max or close to it up here because of that weenie band. I'll take it...doesn't usually happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 PVD strikes again. Can't remember more than a storm or two since '05 in which they've had a respectable measurement. What was your total? Are they too low? I thought that was pretty big for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That isn't a myth....you're always in the right spot....it's orographically favored...and it's equidistant among the balance of the state. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan11 Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Except in a certain glen. He said a few hours ago that he would probably end up with close to 8 inches. That wasn't a final number though. He reported 16-18" from the 26-27 event. This puts to rest the GC myth. Relative pork job for MPM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomNH Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 6.7" officially at ORH on Wed. Just a hair above my 6''. I have the latitude but am in a small snowhole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not disagreeing with you that is a climo good spot...but we sometimes get the shaft. Ala Dec 21, 2008....though we did mange 8" in that...but not your 13". ORH airport and my area does have good upslope though on easterly component wind events, so that def helps. This event though was lucky in the mid-levels...ORH was just far enough east to get the good banding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 This is the deepest snowpack since 3/6/11 before we got torched by that huge rainstorm where powderfreak was trying to pretend we were interestred in everyone getting rain except northwest of Rutland, VT.

ORH_wxman Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Gloucester RI with the weenie 12.2" like I expected... N Foster with 11.3" but at 1054pm..they might finish with over a foot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherMA Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Actually check that...we had briefly a deeper snow pack after the 10/29/11 storm. Well it's MY biggest snow pack since 3/6/11. About 13" or so but will settle quickly to 11-12". And yeah who knows where I will end up but it won't be 400' in Shrewsbury most likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yeah who knows where I will end up but it won't be 400' in Shrewsbury most likely. This will prob settle to 9-10" by mid next week. The snow is light. Sublimation and compaction will take its toll. But we'll finally get really cold for you guys in the radiational cooling spots....not me of course, but it will still be colder than otherwise without fresh snow pack.

ROOSTA Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 The PNS map is updated. Deceiving with the random times of reports, not a final product. Good stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quick question, does not measuring using the 6 hour method make my snow totals less? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
40/70 Benchmark Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 The 6 hour method is more crucial in long duration events....most of the snow fell in about a 6 hour window here, so it doesn't matter. I had 7", and my depth is 7". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Quick question, does not measuring using the 6 hour method make my snow totals less? Yes if you didn't clear after every 6 hours, your measurement would be less. But acceptable measurements can be both as long as one measurement is made within a 24 hour period. So sometimes that can create an apples to oranges comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattmfm Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 What was your total? Are they too low? I thought that was pretty big for them. We were bit less than 10" when I went out a while ago, and a 10.5" spotter report in West Warwick. Was thinking they'd come in around 9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 A +5.5 temp departure at ORH for December and 18.4" of snow. Who would have thought? Dec 1996 all over again except Ray didn't get totally porked in this event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was thinking they'd come in around 9. Okay, def sounds like PVD was low then....I didn't realize how much you had there. That is impressive. PVD is in an awful spot remember...like Logan airport...they are sticking out basically in the bay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROOSTA Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Quick question, does not measuring using the 6 hour method make my snow totals less? Actually it is the correct way by the guidelines.

OSUmetstud Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 12.7" in Milford is the winner so far. It's the public, so not sure how legit it is. I would think Paul's report would say "spotter" next to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think Paul's report would say "spotter" next to it. Its prob close. They def got a bit more than I did. And if its in the spot in Milford that has like 400-450 feet of elevation, then I think its pretty close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
