cbmclean Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 So hypothetical question for you guys, since I have nothing else to do down in my neck of the woods. Say that you have been guaranteed 20" of snow over the course of one month and you could choose how to distribute it? Would you take -1 big dog wtih 20" -2 nice 10" slams -4 respectable 5"' -10 2" nuggets or something else. Lengthy discussion of reasonings are welcome. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nj2va Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 ^^ I’d go with 2 10” storms in a month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinterWxLuvr Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 For me it’s easy. In one month, give me the 10 2”s. That’s a snow every third day. Give me January. Snow will last, develop a solid snow cover. Be a great wintry month. Throw in temps about 5 below avg for my month and it would be incredible 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be very happy with a quick hitting 20" storm with extreme snowfall rates with lightning/thunder. I'd also be very happy to have 10 snow squalls that quickly drop 2" each within a half-hour with lightning/thunder and strong gusty winds. Even better would be a Quebec polar vortex/ strongly +PNA pattern bringing 4 particularly intense snow squalls that each drop 5" in a very short amount of time... with lightning/thunder and severe wind gusts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example will the one 20" storm stick around or is it coming between torches? The 10 - 2"ers....polar cold all month long with snow on snow? The 2 - 10"ers....back to back within a few days then done? Is it cold enough to stick around for a bit? I'm picky like that. I will take the 20" snowstorm in between moderate periods. Let that sh!t melt within a week or so. Cruddy stale snow sucks. Plus if inbetween moderation it would be a nice treat. I also like the idea of 10 - 2" systems tbh if it is going to be BN temps the entire month. 2" of snow every 3 days to freshen things up and only needing a broom? I can live with that. I'm not sure about the 4 - 5" storms. Sounds tempting but do I really feel like getting off my ass to snowblow once a week? Yes....yes I would lol. 2 - 10" storms. You are the weakest link!

I love the snow as much as the next guy, but I also love the cold. I love huge snowstorms so my first inclination is to say the one 20" storm, but if it's mild the rest of the month, that wouldn't be worth it. I feel like 4 5" events would guarantee more cold air.

cbmclean Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 I would probably go with a nice 10" to get things started plus 5 2-inchers periodically the rest of the month to keep things fresh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well for the thought experiment it could go any way you want, but for more fun I would try to collate your choice with a plausible pattern. For example, for the 20" big dog, you could say that it might be one-off event in a highly amplified pattern therefore maybe there is some warm air around so completely plausible that the rest of the month is average or mild. The 10 2-inches would be indicative of a serious cold pattern without a lot of moisture in one individual storm and so on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowfan Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 Let's worry that the bust is gonna bust. Also, if cold is around, give me 10 2" storms. That's 3 each in dec/jan/feb and 1 to cap off the season in march. I'll reconsider if we're getting more than 20 in a season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends...if it’s cold enough to build snowcover 4 5s. If not and it’s snow/melt cycle either 2 10s or a 20! Ideally I would split it into 3 storms. A 10”er to lay down some base followed by 2 5” storms. Or 8/6/6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did a similar poll years ago- based on the responses back then, I’d expect to see most people pick the four 5” choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
