Worcester Co. was definitely the dividing line for haves and have nots.  Big difference in totals from SE to NW.

I called it too early. We had about 1.6" new snow on my car when I woke up so I'm calling it at 24", setting a new PR for single-storm snowfall. What a monster storm.

I was worried you’d be thinking of heading back to NC with yer tail between your legs.  Looks like you’re having the time of your life with your 2’ of snow!  Congrats, that’s awesome!

Huh?

An individual who, along with Eric Fisher, who were "asleep at the switch" during the storm, didn't see the prolonged/intense banding on radar that extended across Wilmington (or didn't properly understand how to read the radar) and decided to take it upon themselves to tweet to the general public questioning Ray's (40/70 Benchmark) snowfall total.

https://twitter.com/ncoramwx/status/973752308914892800

Neither of them was in Wilmington at any time during the storm. Neither of them undertook any degree of due diligence to verify the snowfall amount. They didn't even make a minimal effort. They simply and rashly  threw it out without even bothering to understand the measurement (i.e., examine the radar loops during the day, consider mesoscale effects, etc.) and went public about it. Ray deserved far better.

For all my time here at AmericanWx (and EasternWx before it), Ray has been dedicated and meticulous. He doesn't cut corners or inflate snowfall amounts.

Ray is a real asset to this Board and to the New England weather community. I very much hope he won't get discouraged by what happened yesterday.

The monthly total is now 21.8" making March 2018 the 7th snowiest March on record.

I'll add to the list for ORH....

21.8" yesterday was a daily record, but it also put the monthly total at 40.0".....this is the 2nd snowiest March on record for ORH only behind March 1993 which saw 44.1".

I was on the western edge of the death band in Groton, MA.  The snow was cresting over the top of my snowblower last night - something that has only happened to me 3 other times before and not since the crazy time that was January-February of 2015.  NWS BOX has North Chelmsford at 23.7" which is the closest area to me with reliable reports.

The thing is you have weenies like us clearing huge amounts of fluff every 6hrs and then the general public sticking the yardstick into the driveway at random times. When the PNS is showing a handful of reports a bit over 20” for the high range in a populated county and then a report comes in of over 30” it definitely stands out. That Wilmington 22.5” cocorahs report is just as fishy with about 3.00” of liquid reported. They reported 21.4”/2.75” for 7a-7a....I don’t think so. The other Wilmington cocorahs only reported 17.8”/1.22” for 7a-7a so the obs are all over the place. 

But you’re going to have trouble with people actually believing it since even the highest cocorahs reports are 20-25”. It’s simply just differing methods and that’s the nature of the beast. You’ll just have to deal with the skepticism. :lol:

An individual who, along with Eric Fisher, who were "asleep at the switch" during the storm, didn't see the prolonged/intense banding on radar that extended across Wilmington (or didn't properly understand how to read the radar) and decided to take it upon themselves to tweet to the general public questioning Ray's (40/70 Benchmark) snowfall total.

https://twitter.com/ncoramwx/status/973752308914892800

Neither of them was in Wilmington at any time during the storm. Neither of them undertook any degree of due diligence to verify the snowfall amount. They didn't even make a minimal effort. They simply and rashly  threw it out without even bothering to understand the measurement (i.e., examine the radar loops during the day, consider mesoscale effects, etc.) and went public about it. Ray deserved far better.

For all my time here at AmericanWx (and EasternWx before it), Ray has been dedicated and meticulous. He doesn't cut corners or inflate snowfall amounts.

Ray is a real asset to this Board and to the New England weather community. I very much hope he won't get discouraged by what happened yesterday.

Thank, Don...much appreciated, and likewise
