Just a FYI, that NWS ALY had a cocorahs event a few months back and I specifically asked the METS about that, they said they want 6 hour clears for longer events---if your able to of course. So that's the message they had to all Cocorahs members in the ALY zones. Poster child for this was the Jan 2016 snowstorm that lasted close to 30 hours here. Using the clear every 6 hr method I had close to 33" (32.8" to be exact) but the maximum snow depth was 30" right at the end of the storm. Liquid equivalent was also measured to be 3.02" (11:1 ratio). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The precursor to our early January blizzard? VERY underrated storm, I had true blizzard conditions for 6 hours straight right in the middle of the day! ZERO visibility!

MJO812 Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 I'm close to throwing in the towel I remember people were excited about this winter because of a weak EL Nino. That's why everyone went above normal snowfall wise and colder than normal. ****ing mjo is screwing the pattern. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spanks45 Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 My greenhouse was 65 degrees and sunny on New Years day, it felt great! Did some weeding, the kale is still beautifully green, along with the strawberries. It is what it is, might as well enjoy what ever weather is tossed at us...

So that's the message they had to all Cocorahs members in the ALY zones. When I joined cocorahs in 2009, I'd been making obs at 9 PM since 1/1/1976 and had no interest in compromising that data by switching entirely to 7 AM, choosing 2-a-day obs instead. On some major long-duration snowstorms, I've added a tweener about 2 PM. 200% above normal snowfall prediction for the mid-atlantic/northeast 200%? Most places with average snowfall >80" have never recorded 200%. MA sites averaging <20" are a different story - some had 400% in 2009-10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceanStWx Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 23 hours ago, tamarack said: Last time I watched the cocorahs snow-measure product, its instructions were to record the storm at its max depth, and other info says that a snow-melt-snow sequence within an obs day should have the sum of both peaks reported. Thus one could easily report a lot more snowfall than the depth OG. That is true. It's also a bit counter-intuitive when considering that in a snow-some melt-snow scenario you only report the maximum depth of new snow. Not the totals of each snow event during the day. 21 hours ago, backedgeapproaching said: Kind of related--I know there has been a lot of past discussion about 6 hour board clears vs once a day or only at the end of the storm.

So that's the message they had to all Cocorahs members in the ALY zones. That's interesting that they are offering that guideline in training. All guidance, including coops, is for one 24 hour clear. In reality you could measure as many times as you want during the event (without clearing), but can only report the maximum depth of new snowfall. So even if you measured every hour, by leaving the snow on the board there is settling and melting/sublimation going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HimoorWx Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 It will be but I feel like Liverpool can survive with a draw. We're alive!

This was actually my prediction to my former boss, who is a big City fan. I knew it was going to be a tall task and City would play with a chip on their shoulder.

Going to be tough to reel in Liverpool, but nearly impossible if we lost today. Was trying to watch at work, but looking forward to watching replay without stress.

It would be amazing if 1.12 cm ended up deciding the Premier League this season. But 1.12 is quite a bit . . . it is more snow than I have so far in meteorological winter! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As they were walking off the pitch, Kompany tried to joke with Van Dyke but he was not in the mood and looked pissed off. I knew Van Dyke was good but I had no idea he’d be as good as he has been. Liverpool spent the money from Couthino wisely between VVD and Allison. I think they have the heart and guts to go all the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allison's ridiculously cool save one on one with Aguero is something that definitely wasn't happening in the last several seasons. Also the Van Dijk song fans are singing now is already one of my favorites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
