tamarack Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Updated 2/27 my guesses: Current % total guess Dryslot 94 79.8 85% LavaRock 92 69.45 75% MBY 98 63.9 65% (avg thru 2/27: 66.3) If I reach anywhere near my guess, the other two would have a memorable snow season.

I doubt Boston sees another 22" in March, although it's not totally impossible. But most of the interior picks are doomed for sure. BTV has 54" and you picked 120" (way too high, I think only 70-71 and 07-08 had more than this at Burlington). There's no way they will get another 66" in March/early April, especially considering the cold air is on the other side of the globe. Same with Albany...they have 38.9" and you picked 77"...they aren't getting 40" in March. Albany's average snowfall is around 55", so your pick was already highly optimistic. I'm guessing they get over 75" in only 15-20% of winters...that's a lot for Albany. ORH has 46" and you picked 80"...looks out of reach given the pattern. I think you may overestimate average snowfalls at some of these interior sites. Or you thought we'd see a really good winter in a weak La Nina. It did start out promising, but it's been horrible since January 10th. The problem is there is just more and more warm air on the map. Ooof. Weather is humbling, isn't it? I learned that more than once over the years. Looks like he was too low on ORH, now at 86.6"....and ALB now up to 74.7 with 35.8 in March alone. BOS up to 56.8". On the bright side, your BTV skepticism still looks good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea I am going to eat crow with some of these. The interior has had a March for the ages. Who would have thought we'd see 3 massive Nor'easters in 11 days? I've had 7.5" this March here in the Bronx, respectable but not amazing. The pattern has been cold though, only 33F here today at noon on March 14th. Average highs are upper 40s now. Well BTV was obviously not going to verify. That was the one I was most certain of. I know the climo there well from Middlebury, and 120" is an historic winter in the Champlain Valley. They don't get 70" in one month either. I did say Boston was "not impossible" in my defense. 22" is within reason for a snowy March. More than expected but possible. We shall see if Albany gets 3" more. The pattern looks to stay cold so certainly possible. Euro weeklies had troughing out to mid April. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put it this way, the first order stations wipe it clean every 6 hrs or as close as they can. It's the best way to account for compaction, wind etc. I would keep doing that. I think this was a very extreme case (and I think timely wipe of the board) that made your number stand out. It wasn't an error, but does show you the difference compaction made.

STILL N OF PIKE Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Clearing every 6hrs or 1x daily should be mentioned next to annual snowfall totals imo. I understand that both are ok, no arguments there, but havin such information for everyone can help me determine how much more snow fell in one location from the sky (and stuck) that year which is all i really care about in comparisons.

Its only a great disparity in huge events like that. Go back and look at Will's seasonal maps...my totals do not stand out. Its not about what people care about...its about homogenous, accurate records. Go stick a ruler in the ground once per day and vomit it out on twitter if that is your goal.

The error can exist even if the whole community is taking homogeneous methods to measuring. It's so tough. I agree about the seriousness. I used to drive myself crazy with measuring. Now I get to it when I get to it and I don't lose sleep if I'm off a half inch. I just realize in my locale that it's impossible for good measuring.

ORH_wxman Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 It's only really a big issue in very fluffy big time snow events that last for 12+ hours...this past March 13th was a perfect storm for total discrepancies. Most events that are fluffy are either: 1. Lasting less than 8-10 hours so no real difference 2. Amounts under 10 inches 3. Or both But when you get an 18-20 hour storm like we did on March 13th that is both very fluffy and also heavy snow amounts...then you'll have discrepancies that can be upwards of 20% of your total.

tamarack Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 Folks who ork away from home aren't going to get a measurement every 6 hours. Of course, that doesn't mean that one-a-day is the only other choice. I masure at 7 for cocorahs, and have been recording temp/precip/snow at 9 PM since Jan 1976 and wasn't about to change that when cocorahs reached Maine. I I'm home and there's accumulating snow thru the day, I've been known to sweep the board halfway between 7A and 9P - might happen once a year. I'm pretty sure the New Sharon co-op is once/day and the Farmngton co-op seems more likely to be at 6-hour spacing. Over my 20 years here my snowfall has run 2-3" behind Farmington and 4-5" ahead of NS co-op, meaning about 85/89/92" on avg for the three locations. Not tragic.

40/70 Benchmark Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 2 hours ago, tamarack said: Folks who ork away from home aren't going to get a measurement every 6 hours. Of course, that doesn't mean that one-a-day is the only other choice. I masure at 7 for cocorahs, and have been recording temp/precip/snow at 9 PM since Jan 1976 and wasn't about to change that when cocorahs reached Maine. I I'm home and there's accumulating snow thru the day, I've been known to sweep the board halfway between 7A and 9P - might happen once a year. I'm pretty sure the New Sharon co-op is once/day and the Farmngton co-op seems more likely to be at 6-hour spacing. Over my 20 years here my snowfall has run 2-3" behind Farmington and 4-5" ahead of NS co-op, meaning about 85/89/92" on avg for the three locations. Not tragic.

Did you have numbers not ranges we could use, middle of your range works for each of the stations listed. I have a spreadsheet with all guesses and % correct overall, with best prediction for each city, also will run Standard deviations for all. Amazingly so far groups total is over 90% correct of predicted. Smart peeps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
