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

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.

What lat/long do I need to use? I don't care about what city you are in, just the lat/long

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.

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...

Will you use pieced together data from different locations in Cecil?

and this for PNS's which arent always comprehensive

Your a data guy, so you know what its like.

 

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.

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.

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)

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.
