baroclinic_instability Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 Nice idea. If you wanted to add a little highlight to this, you could quickly throw this into an excel spreadsheet and graph/plot the data and the departures. It would be another neat way to show the data.

That sure looks like a fun job. And I'm referring to the MSN obs by the way. They're usually pretty good, there's times during mixed precip events where they update the precip type every 5 minutes.

cyclone77 Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Skiling finally confirmed it was ice pellets. Yeah I heard him mention that on the noon news broadcast.

mnweather Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Duluth's 27.3" total is a bit deceiving. If you are lakeside the season total so far is about 4" while the NWS is inland so there is a much higher total. I wish they would track both of them officially but they don't.

To me that's almost like counting hail as snow. Doesn't make too much sense but that's the way it is I guess. Yep, sleet is counted as snow. I believe it started circa 1950. Detroit had a sleet storm drop 1.4" of sleet and 0.4" of snow on January 1, 1948 (along with a ton of zr), and when I looked it up I just saw 1.8" for the day but could never figure out why my numbers were coming out wrong. I was getting a season total for 1947-48 of 28.0", not the officially listed 26.6". I later saw a microfilm copy of the month, and it says right on there, "1.4" fell as sleet", so back then they didnt count that. Today if that same scenario occurred, it would simply say "1.8"" in the Snow column. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is DLH's official station in an area that would typically, even in mid-winter, receive the most snow in the region? I know thats how Marquette in the U.P. of MI is (MQT is in Negaunee Twp, the actual city of Marquette gets a lot less than the official tally shows). It would be like if Detroit kept its totals at White Lake instead of DTW. Its funny that NWS's in already snowy regions have their biggest station in the snowiest place of the entire region lol.

I know thats how Marquette in the U.P. of MI is (MQT is in Negaunee Twp, the actual city of Marquette gets a lot less than the official tally shows). It would be like if Detroit kept its totals at White Lake instead of DTW. Its funny that NWS's in already snowy regions have their biggest station in the snowiest place of the entire region lol. The Duluth station is in an area that does receive more snow for this region. Further up the north shore on the higher ridges there are places that get more than Duluth's site. I just don't understand why they can't keep track in 2 different locations. One by the lake and one away from it. It really would be nice. Maybe they already do but they never make the other measurements public knowledge. Who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
