The deck kind of eliminates that by letting the some of the melted water drip out rather than soak up into the new and compact it. You also get cold air on the bottom side of your measuring area which helps it accumulate. I’m not sure what your ground skin temp was when this started, but if it was like 35F and you were measuring from a board on the ground, the board would feel the effects of that. More proof that measuring snow is an inexact science. I measured 13.1" on the board just before midnight, got an additional 1.5" on cold surfaces and recently cleared pavement, and the board was still at exactly 13.1" when I got up at 4. I know maximum depth is the official total but it still feels like I'm cheating myself out of perfectly good snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've concluded that being at Pit2 in a storm with wind is not great to watch from an accumulation standpoint. On the plus side, all the snow you see in the air is actually falling snow rather than a combination of falling and blowing. To that end, we are ripping here with winds howling. Snow coming in nearly horizontally. I need to get a real station here. 29*, still now word from my wife at the Pit. Same deal here. I just woke up and checked the deck. Blowing all over the place, I can’t tell what we’ve got except a very wintry look! But I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmj16725 Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 11.5" as a final - the snow is dense as hell. Cleaned the board once - OTG the snow compacted down to about 8-9". Lots of limbs down on the way to work. 45.5" for the season - just a bit above average. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biggest event here since 2015 going from my deck measurement. Saw the radar Will posted earlier in the thread and I can see why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cold Miser Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Serious question: Last night between 6:00 and 10:00pm I was at my girlfriends house. Her house is literally situated about 20 feet from a lake (one mile in length x 1/2 mile wide, and not frozen at the time), and surrounded by very tall pines. When I showed up there it was puking a heavy, wet snow. It was blowing off of the lake, and by the time I left 4 hours later there just was not much to show for it...maybe an inch. The temp at her place was 34F, and when I was about half mile from her place, the temp dropped to 32F, and there was a good 3 or more inches of snow in the surrounding area. Is it the combination of the lake and the trees that keep the temp the way it was? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like the sucker hole followed me. I just measured a few spots in the yard and got a pretty wide range. No official snow board but it was between 7 and 13 inches.

I think cocorahs discourages it, but the local coco guys have been coming in higher than my cleared totals all season so who knows... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxsniss Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Wow this final band taking residence over eastern MA 5-7am salvaged alot of forecasts! And sealed the decision to close most schools. RAP really did hint at this Also much better accumulation with temps 29-32 instead of 33-34 Scenes from Brookline MA: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
