das Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Closest mPing is roughly Lynchburg. Good reminder. For those that don't know what that is, help the research community out and download NOAA National Severe Storm Lab's mPing crowdsourcing app to your smartphone. It's an excellent data ingest tool for the researchers focused on the transition of p-types.

NorthArlington101 Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 I don't think the how to measure thread has been posted yet, so I'm going to ask now just incase someone forgets to put it up.

H2O Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 This storm will be tough to measure. Ideally you want a place away from things but protected from the winds. i know, kinda hard. Flat surface(board) elevated off the ground. Measure every 6 hours and then sweep the flat surface clean. Repeat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Symblized Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 I don't think the how to measure thread has been posted yet, so I'm going to ask now just incase someone forgets to put it up. How should we be properly measuring this storm, especially when the winds begin to pick up? Official guidelines: http://www.nws.noaa.gov/om/coop/reference/Snow_Measurement_Guidelines.pdf Here's what to do with wind: In open areas where windblown snow cannot be avoided, take a number of measurements in different locations to report a representative measurement (typically 3 or more measurements). The multiple measurements should be averaged together to obtain an accurate measure of the snow that fell. The measurements should not include the largest drifts or areas that have had snowfall drastically reduced by the wind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
