Somewhere Mikehobbyist is pumping his fists.

 

Best long range forecast I've seen...and you can't say it was copied...nobody else would've ever come up with that.

If it's measured correctly, than I could see 7.0 being correct at 4pm. If you clear and measure (on a board) or using a cold surface than you take away any settling affect.

However this is not correct.  The guidelines for snow measurement have changed.  The maximum depth before settling is supposed to be reported as the day's snowfall.

Has this recently changed? I was taught the board method in St Louis about 5 years ago by the NWS. If so, thanks for the new info

If Upton is sort of pressed for time and not able to update the PNS...they should utilize their Twitter account and just post the totals at the local airports...shouldn't take terribly long.

I'm making an exception.  BOS needs 110+

 

I never root against Boston; though I know many do...they are on the coast like us and they have their share of heartbreak...for being that far to the north, a mean annual snowfall of 43" is nothing to envy.  I mean, New Haven's long term numbers were like 37" in the 20th century.

 

When I moved to Long Island, the town I rooted against was Albany...the quintessential location in the interior (albeit in a valley) that took the moisture off our Atlantic and turned it into white gold for their benefit; and at our expense.

Pretty great event for rain to snow.... don't see many events like these at all here yielding 7-9". Shows you how unique this pattern has been... Can only remember Xmas 2002 nyc had 5", but on a strong low pressure bomb.
