I NEVER clear, I only report snow measurement to NWS on snow depth for current storm. I always wondered if all these 30 plus measurements lately are people who clear. I think it is but for a while I thought clearing every 6hrs was the ‘right way’ until the recent change. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUNNAWAYICEBERG Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 I think if I cleared in 96 every 6hrs I may totalled 40” lol. 36hrs of fluff so that’s 6 measurements with much less compaction/settling. I dunno. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Others reported the total snow depths (old snow on the ground and from the storm) and not just the snowfall. I researched it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So BOX has the "official" snow climo for ORH right? And by official I mean, corrected. I always wonder when I see news outlets post about ORH snow stats. I hope they are using the corrected version.

Well, its certainly not wrong, as major airports do it. Again, snow removal crews are concerned with snowfall, not total depth. I've said before, they aren't waiting 2 days to clear a 40" snowfall so that they can have the luxury of tackling the lesser 35" storm depth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe they do have the '95-'96 record as I've seen in referenced (most recently in the 2014-2015 winter when we were threatening it)...and they also have the 33.0" '97 blizzard total which had previously been the record storm total until Jan 2015. I resent the ORH reconstructed data to them recently actually sometime last year...I think they are going to make another attempt at some point to get it in the NCEI database. Hopefully they are successful this time. We initially tried way back in like 2008 or 2009 and ran into too much red tape. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
40/70 Benchmark Posted January 6, 2021 Author Share Posted January 6, 2021 Regardless of whether or not you swipe, I strongly recommend a snowboard, since you don't risk measuring pre existing depth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know why it's like pulling teeth but it is, even if it's a silly obvious mistake missed in QC like precip getting put in the snow column. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mm.. not to be contrarian but that little guy up there isn't the problem... That whole entire polar arm of jet arcing that it is embedded in is a vestigial "suppression" factor on the total synopsis - that thing doesn't really mean much in and of itself. That set up up there is related to the half-hearted daily presentation of the current -NAO that everyone insists(ed) and/or thinks we need to get big storms ... ooooh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trust me... it's not that 'piece of shit' - I think it worth it clear up the conceptualizing/ it's a bigger problem with the entire circulation components than that small entity That system in the TV isn't going to usurp that arm of polar jet that flows from eastern Canada SSE through NE .... If you remove that little object from the field, you still have that planetary wave/jet structure in the way.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Typhoon Tip Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Anyway... that 00z GEF teleconnector was a complete reversal overnight last night... Right smack in the face of yesterday's seeming coalesced +PNA and that Euro weird fake SSW bullshit... No, patience wears thin when it gets harder and harder to ignore the strange repeating tendency to be dealt reverses at all scales... Glad my job is picking up these days - may not be around much this winter if these modeling performances continue... There's nothing to be learned or inspired by "miss"guidance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
