The biggies in 2018, 2015, and 2013 were all great for ASH/Methuen. It's just been a real bad stretch, no denying it. I think just north of us got the real hose in this one. Coworker in Hooksett said he only got 5". Yep. Bad run and over a 5 winter sample, pretty easy to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do the best you can with what you have, In these storms with a lot of wind is very problematic to measure as you are dealing with all you mentioned, And yes, Under measuring i think happen more then over unless your in lunnenburg then you just add 6" to whatever your total is......... 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
