mappy Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Yeah...it's gotta be close in some spots. That's my guess. Blah, I hate not having actual data Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deck Pic Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Thanks Matt, I can assume areas in CC should be in the 50s but without actual data my hands are tied. I don't want to produce a map where data was fudged simply bc someone assumes it's supposed to be that way. It's an educated assumption based on 3 surrounding stations that I looked up..not suggesting you should fudge your map..just trying to helpful given the lack of data....but whatever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T. August Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Giving me wrong info does not help you. And since I make maps for a living, having accurate data is crucial so please don't fudge things simply for your own good. Wait, what? I'm in the of limits Havre de Grace. I meant I'm not IN Havre de Grace. It's not "wrong" info. But I am closer to other cities, so I just gave my lat/lon instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Wow, no I don't and that's huge compared to areas near it It's on Parr's ridge but the guy is ex NWS so I'm sure it's legit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mappy Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 It's on Parr's ridge but the guy is ex NWS so I'm sure it's legit. I read, I included it with the Damascus lat/long google gave me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mappy Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Based on extrapolating New Park, Holtwood and Wilmington, I think upper 50s to mid 60s for middle of Cecil county Matt -- to expand on this, I have a measurement for Wilmington (55.4, got it from Mt Holly) ... where did you get the others? If its legit, I'll use them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deck Pic Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 I appreciate it, I just can't use it I dont blame you...I am anal about data and measurements... Conowingo Dam is all messed up as usual and aberdeen is incomplete Between Aberdeen, the good data from Conowingo and the spotter in Elkton and North East, I might be able to piece it together later...

If its legit, I'll use them. Will you use pieced together data from different locations in Cecil? http://climate.usurf.usu.edu/mapGUI/mapGUI.php and this for PNS's which arent always comprehensive http://www.erh.noaa.gov/phi/archives.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
das Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Here's my latest total: 39.14°N 77.16°W, Clarksburg, MD 59.5" Oh, and, the Damascus number is believable. They have another 350' elevation on me at a higher point on Parr's Ridge and have definitely done better a few times than me this winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been using member totals, CoCoRaHs and climate data from different WFO offices. (BWI, IAD, DCA, Wallops, Salisbury, Wilmington, Norfolk, Richmond) I considered going through storm reports/maps to try to piece together stuff, but I saw that the same location wasn't represented during every event. So I thought it wouldn't be right to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fozz Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 That Damascus number is incredible.... I'm glad CWG did a write-up on it and was surprised their average is increasing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowfan Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Also, sorry if I am coming off like a "gis nazi" like Ian said, I am not trying to be. Just want to produce an accurate map creating good maps is a hell of a lot more difficult than people realize. the mapping dept in our office is very particular about how things are done.

DDweatherman Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Here's my latest total: 39.14°N 77.16°W, Clarksburg, MD 59.5" Oh, and, the Damascus number is believable. They have another 350' elevation on me at a higher point on Parr's Ridge and have definitely done better a few times than me this winter. Definitely believable. Some places in that area received over 100" in 2009-2010. Though that is also believable considering even in my area of Dundalk we received over 90". BWI's mid 70's number is skewed by a few crooked measuring instances. (24vs30+ around them) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAPE Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Your 5" number on 1/28 is very impressive considering I only received 1" in Dundalk, and relatively speaking, I'm not THAT far from you Yup that was the southern slider that just grazed places west of the bay. Forecast here was for 1-3, but I got into a persistent heavy band. Still my favorite event this winter, due to the cold temps(12 degrees) and the insane ratios. 5 inches of light fluff and it fell heavily with large perfectly formed dendrites.
