ORH_wxman Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 3 minutes ago, 78Blizzard said: Just finished snowblowing. Didn't seem all that fluffy as I thought, but that's probably because I waited too long to clear the driveway, so the bottom layer was melting onto the pavement making for a not so clean pass in some areas. That happened to me shoveling at the end....I was wasting a bunch of time figuring out what was wrong with my snowblower that by the time I was shoveling at the end, things were starting to compact a little bit. The first 75% I shoveled was blower powder but then near the end it was seeming a little denser with having more trouble scraping the bottom layer off the driveway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve always despised the model snow maps (or clown maps as I call them) and this is another great description of why they stink. They are fun to look at for sure…but they do often cause a lot of confusion and often inflate expectations compared to usual. Glad to share my thoughts and I absolutely agree! I still can't believe Pivotal requires payment for a product that hasn't been tested (Kuchera). 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dendrite Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Kuchie maps have a lot of issues up here because they’re based on sfc temps and assume higher ratios the colder and colder your 2m temp gets. It’s really a lazy first estimate on snow totals. We know how you can be frigid at the surface in a SWFE, yet it’s pushing freezing at 750mb and your snow ends up 9:1. Or Scoot today creeped up near 32° for a bit, but being under that band he was getting massive growth with that lift in the DGZ so he’s pulling off good ratios despite relatively warm temps.

Cold Miser Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 What are people here doing wrong with their measurements vs. the "official' ones from the NWS final tallies? More than not the official numbers are lower than the ones we give. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes it is as simple as putting the wrong end of the yard stick down to the base so that instead of reading 13" it reads 23". 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
