HIPPYVALLEY Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 Had a great afternoon out on the SC Inter Coastal Waterway with my brother. Light breeze and temps in the mid-70’s. Lots of Dolphin sightings. 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t be 875 mb… SNOINCR 3/10/11 is 3” in the last hour and then I forget if the coding back then was 10” in the past 6hrs or 10” for the storm. And then I think the 11” is the current depth. SLP is in every ob in tenths of a mb. So SLP875 is 987.5mb. I think anything coded as 500+ gets a 9 in front of it (low pressure) and anything sub 500 gets a 10 (high pressure). 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah 10” For the storm I believe at the ob time, but it pretty much fell in 6 hrs lol. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I didn’t think it was 6hr since it was a 23z ob anyway. I think snoincr now is just the hourly rate if >= 1”/hr and then the pack depth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do we see these days now if they don’t use the three number on the obs anymore? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It only gets posted if 1”+ per hour, so it’s piling up. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dendrite Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 You’ll sometimes just see snow depth in a METAR as well. Usually 0/6/12/18z. 4/ddd Where ddd is the depth in inches. So 24” would be 4/024. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I mean that’s when they report the depth if they report it at all. 00z/06z/12z/18z. If it’s once per day it’s usually 12z. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
