MY event total here is 1.97 (frozen stuff melted ) It wasn't an officially report... can everyone calm down... Jesus HC..... I could care less my total LE..... in my originally lost about my LE I had said it was a rough estimate based off that criteria and explained that... I never just came out and reported 3" of LE....... And not to mention I was explaining ratios with Paragon, and was using my totals as an example.... in regards to snowfall equivalent maps.. so the 3" report is taken out of context also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love mesoscale phenomena in these storms and always look for localized precip maxima and such. 2:1 is a good starting place for sleet but it does vary quite a bit. My first round sleet only was 1.8:1, but as always, measuring frozen precip is somewhat subjective. I didn't wipe until after the first round was over, so settling and maybe some melting probably accounts for my high water content. Depending on measuring technique, pellet size/shape, etc., it can be 3:1 or 4:1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really didn't pay attention, like I said I was only using my sleet totals to explain snowmaps ratios and why they were showing 25" of snow in some spots on the nam... and using a 2:1 method, someone seeing 6" of sleet is at 3" liquid... not to say that my actuaL liquid event was really 3", it was just in theory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was that from a core sample or gauge collecting all precip? I'm at 1.2" or so My liquid total was 1.54". Only 2.0" total of mostly sleet and some snow. I'll have to calculate later how much my snowfall is below normal now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have to calculate later how much my snowfall is below normal now. 20.0" ytd, which is close to my average which is 20.9" at this point so only .9" below average as of today. You gotta love the staying power of sleet though. I had 2.0" on the board yesterday and this morning after mostly rain yesterday and no measurable frozen I have 1.8" in the yard. For those of you playing at home, snow pack is measured to the nearest 1/2" so my snow pack gets logged as 2" this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I received over 2 inches after 7pm. I'm sure the NWS will not add the totals to that map or ever update it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Animal Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Sup homies, down in cape may. talk about non snow this year. Locals tell me like 4 inches maybe. guess if you live here, you measure wind gust and your growing season. buckle up for a backloaded winter.

IrishRob17 Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Last nights low was another bust, 6 or so degrees above the forecasted low which was already 10 or so degrees above average. So discouraging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gravitylover Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Only sort of though. I was out and about all through NH today with no jacket and got gas in Sturbridge around 8pm and wasn't the least bit uncomfortable and it was 28*. Now it's ~25* here at home and still comfortable with no jacket. It's a dry cold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It did feel cold today, yet that low of 27 is 10 degrees above the normal low for this time of year. Sad when you think about it that we now view that as cold this time of year. Just another reflection on this mild winter so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
