IsentropicLift Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Even Washington DC is still under the precip shield, that's normally a pretty good sign that we have awhile to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chietanen Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 I think NYC, LI and CT jackpot for the afternoon snow burst. Better lift, VVs and coastal enhacement. Could be a surprise heavy band somewhere on the island also. I agree. Would be a nice end to the storm for you guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rjay Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 I think it is ok to clear in this situation. There was an accumulation of snow and then a phase change for an extended period. You would measure the greatest depth of snow and sleet during that combined period. If there is subsequently another period of snowfall, I'd measure that separately and add the total of the 2 measurements for the day. On the other hand, if it snowed 6" overnight, then stopped for a few hours, then snowed another 6" during the afternoon and the greatest new snow depth was 10", then you would report 10" as the day's snowfall (not 12"). You might want to confirm with someone like Ray Martin; I am not 100% sure, but I think the phase change thing is handled differently as I mentioned above. These days, the official standard for wiping a board in most instances is once per day and reporting the greatest depth prior to wiping as the snowfall. I think that it is not uniformly applied, even across first order climate stations, so it is understandable that there is a lot of confusion out there about how to measure snow. The irony is, I think they changed form the wipe no more than every 6 hours standard to reduce confusion You're right and I don't understand why they (we) do it that way.

IsentropicLift Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 The cold front is still well West of the area into PA. We won't shut off until it moves Eastward but eventually the surface low will be pulling the moisture East with it. As of right now it's sitll completing the transfer.
