OceanStWx Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 11 minutes ago, MetHerb said: Do coops still report traces for snow on ground? I just noticed that the Staffordville guy along with a bunch of other sites that probably have snow on the ground reported 0 for snow. There's clearly snow and ice on the ground (I had 1" this morning) but I find it odd that it's not even reported as a trace. Just wondering if someone knows if they no longer report that or not. Yes, Ts are still reported. But it is fairly subjective and local to their siting area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.Spin Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 8 hours ago, Baroclinic Zone said: Some get really impatient when there isn't a winter threat every few days. Can you imagine the annual snow totals we'd have if we had snow every few days from Dec 1st to Apr 1st. 8 hours ago, mreaves said: Just ask JSpin, PF and Alex LOL, I was actually going to respond to the comment because that climate literally exists, and we have the data for it. The annual snow totals would be quite variable depending on elevation and mountain aspect, but you’d probably be looking at ~100” at a minimum. That is unless you’re thinking warning-level snows every few days. Annual snowfall would need to be well into the hundreds of inches to pull that off, and most of the places I can think of with big snow totals like that don’t typically have their storms quite that frequently. My best guess at a place that might be able to do it consistently would be the mountains of Hokkaido, but the more coastal ranges of British Columbia might be able to do it in some years with the right pattern. My numbers from the past 13 seasons indicate that we average 40 accumulating storms during that Dec 1st to Apr 1st period, which breaks down to a storm bringing some sort of accumulation almost exactly every 3 days on average. Mean snowfall during that stretch is 135.5”, so that equates to an average of 3.4” of snow per storm. Actually, Mt. Mansfield at elevation could be close to averaging a warning-level snow about every 3 days during that period, because the snowfall there is typically just about double what I record. Of course it doesn’t actually work out with a nice distribution of a medium-sized storm every three days because you get periods where the storms are really popping up, lulls, small storms, large storms, etc. Still, such a climate is really not that far-fetched. We’ve actually been talking about this a bit in the NNE thread because No Poles was wondering about the possibility of a quiet week on the snowfall front. A little bit of potential popped up on the models for tonight though, sort of in line with the snowfall frequency discussion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kitzbuhel Craver Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 I would 100% say what a joke that is, accept for the fact that it looks eerily similar to what just happened down south albeit a bit stronger. Regardless, probably a trash solution, but it looks strikingly similar to the storm that just happened down there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
