famartin Posted February 17, 2015 Author Share Posted February 17, 2015 Still moderately snowing. I think my call of 2-4 in TTN may bust low. I think Ray had 2-5, that sounds just about right. With 3.5 as of a half hour ago, and a couple more hours left, 2-5 might bust low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RU848789 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 1" of new snow on the ground as of 2 am - that's basically 1.33"/hour with visibility never less than a half mile. Has to be 20:1 ratio snow, as it's like cotton candy. I have to say, while I am still an avid believer in reporting snow mass or LE instead of depth,as mass/LE is far more relevant wrt/impact, 20:1 snow is pretty freakin' awesome to look at. Looks like the southern edge of the moderate snowfall is about to go past us, ending the good snow - hopefully that next band around 195 will make it up here soon or that we'll get backbuilding from the west. Also, I need to get at least 2-3 hours of sleep, lol, as I have an all day meeting tomorrow with two of my groups at work and dozing off won't go over well. Slept for almost 3 hours, got up at 5 am and we now have 4" on the ground as of 5:30 am after "shoveling" - since I was outside, I "shoveled" with a huge broom - way faster than a shovel for this fluffy confection. Still snowing light/moderately. Hard to tell if the decent 20-30 DBZ "green" bands are almost over or not - I'm on the northern edge right now. Would love another 1-2", but not confident in getting that, but I'm ecstatic with 4". Woohoo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RU848789 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Final measurement is 4.5" as of 6:15 am, as another 1/2" fell in the last hour or so - snow now just falling lightly. Could get a little more, but radar is looking light. Also, with such high ratios, better measure now or this stuff will collapse under its own weight in a few hours. I had cleared the "board" at 4" and got another 1/2" of fresh snow, but also noticed that the depth on the lawn was only 4.25", indicating that some settling has already started (as the lawn was agreeing with my "board" - a table on my deck - until then).
