Not if we have to wait until it ends before we can measure lol.

Great, you'll say you got a foot but only have 6"-7" to show for it.

Wait until the last flurry drops and charge out there with a ruler...measure 12” but puzzled because it snowed fairly well for 48hrs. 

Going to measure after everything has settled and it has drizzled on top.

I loved those chalkboards when we had snow, the way he made them like stars, brings back memories.

Ha, the changeover to a driving sleet to snow event Tuesday night is real cute on the RGEM.

One must be pretty and fluent in computer graphics to be correct with a forecast?  Or did I read the critique of MS Paint incorrectly?

Im a professional writer and hate photography. I've taken classes because I know occasionally some staff photojournalist won't make it and I don't want my work to appear next to embarassing images. I have no passion or interest in design, but to do corporate work, it's worth knowing how to do the basics.

Now, should pretty graphics lend credence to the information they present? Who cares, really? They absolutely do. That's why every weather site spends so much time on it, even though much of it makes me roll my eyes.

If you self publish anything, professionally, you can learn how to make it look clean in a matter of hours. Thereafter, it won't take any additional time compared to the ugly way. All the work you produce will be more impactful. There's a logic in doing so, however you think about it.

COOP's actually measure it just before the storm total stops accumulating or every 24 hours depending on the duration of the storm. That's  the true rules of the COOP  Weather Observers Guidelines.

If I end up with 8", I'll melt, but none of you will have the pleasure of viewing it....only my daughter will witness it, as I rip the limbs off of her dolls.

RGEM would make me happy

Well, for not having the technology we do today, with lack of modeling for many of his years, he did pretty well in his forecasts.

[PhineasC]

I am in love with the RGEM.

[78Blizzard]

Well, if the NAM isn't giving 2", the RGEM certainly isn't giving 3".
