Lol Expand It was actually a good defense by him...he said something like “that measurement in Wilmington is old school. The spotters have recently been advised to not clear every 6 hours but the top airport sites still do. The measurement is just like you’d see at an airport.” Im paraphrasing there but he basically was talking about how it was kind of arbitrary that spotter and coop measurements all of the sudden shouldn’t clear every 6 hours. Now advised just to take peak depth on the snowboard in a 24 hour period. You can clear after 24h. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

40/70 Benchmark Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 If you think about, DPW crews and private contractors, which represent the majority of clientele for snowfall forecasts, want to know how much snow is going to fall from the sky. That is what they are going to have to plow, not the settled depth 1-2 days later. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Given the new recommendations, I think if you go with the old way , That you should also def post max depth like a default two measurement report. It would minimize the disbelief from the drastic differences we can see from a drawn out storm that involves fluff. I mean obviously going old school would cause measurements to stick out . I don’t really care that much but I just imagine the amount of back and forth that could be eliminated lol I would imagine the difference could approach 30% in some Long drawn out biggies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 The 50:1 shit that doesn’t accumulate unless you clear every 6 hrs would drive me nuts.
