Not like it was 46" or 47", it's exactly 4 feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't expect a mountain to not advertise 48" of snow, but it does make my spidey sense tingle a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was definitely a max just to my NW though based on the multiple obs around 40” and Danbury is in that zone. I just hate seeing a report where I know part of it is severely flawed.

From what it looks like their 17th CoCoRaHS report was missing liquid (CoCoRaHS staff edited it out), looks like overflow. So that doesn't mean the snowfall amount it wrong like you say. I don't love that snow depth was T before and 48 inches fell and was reported on the ground and the snow depth was then reported as 48.5 without any additional snow.

Yeah like I said in the NNE thread, my uncle is basically on the east side of Ragged and he had a pretty crazy pack. If measured every 6hr I suppose its possible, but it does seem to stand out.

They have been all over the place. First it was 2', then 3', then 4', then 30", then 38", now back to 4', depends which of their social media pages you look at. Either way, an awesome start. The 40+ at Okemo was too much for them. Lines were epically long with only 1 lift running most of Thursday, lots of pissed off pass holders and ticket buyers.

I’ll have some photos from up there tomorrow. Bummer I couldn’t get to see it until all the snow settled so much...but my friends up there are saying the mountain is skiing way better then Thursday or Friday, he literally said so much terrain was unridable due to the depth of the snow.

Clavinet Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 For anyone here who may have the spare time to explain this. I recently used the NOHRSC snowfall analysis to create contours using the same snowfall increments as TWC. Why is theirs showing much more pink (24+ inches) throughout the middle?
