That doughnut was showing up 4-5 days ago. 8" of fun here, I see NWS Box has a 15" spot for @HIPPYVALLEY area. Awesome stuff. It was obvious where that hole was going to plant for several days. I confirmed it playing out like that at 630am, and off to ned I went. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back to heavy snow but 1/4 mile stuff not the absurdity of earlier. 20.5" at the snowstake Question: In a snowfall with high ratios like the one we are having I am sure there is so much compression of the pack. 2 feet of snow weighs a lot. The 40" plus snow amounts I see posted, are they people that have cleared? I'm sure if I had cleared every 6 hours I would have inches more.

Absolutely amazing. I know the Euro had barely anything for you as recent as yesterday evening while the event was within 6 hours of go time. Any of the short range models also missed you?

I confirmed it playing out like that at 630am, and off to ned I went. Yea we had about 4-5" of snow around 4:30 when I woke up, looked at the radar saw the banding way north and knew it. "Shadow banding" as Sipprell once described it to me on one of our road trips skiing. Grabbed another 3-4" between 8:30-10:30 and that was all she wrote. Storm was fun to track and learned a ton. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnowGiant611 Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Haven't posted after being stuck in the driveway for 3 hours and taking an hour to get somewhere it should have taken me 15min. Everyone is off the road...cars stuck everywhere. Absolutely WHITEOUT conditions up here...you can't even see 5 feet in front of you. Snowfall totals: A wicked lot of snow. What a truly historic, impressive storm. This reminds me of the great Norlun trough event of like 10 years ago where it snowed for 48 hours straight. I'll try to get measurements soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has there ever been a study or any kind of rule so you can compare snowfalls? Some of the pics I've seen in the 30-36" range looks like just like ruler in the ground measurement--so no clear. Some probably are clearing as well. I don't know about the 40" plus totals. If it just 44" depth, then that is insanely impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
