Dryslot was woefully under`modeled. Factored with speed of system inhibited higher totals. If the 1-2’/hr rates lasted just another 1-2hrs, we’d all be well within forecast totals.

It was modeled well on the soundings, but models are always too juicy when the DGZ dries out. I did think the thump would be  better here along with the Atlantic inflow. Haven’t looked out yet. We bed.

PWM 12z -

8.3" new / 0.42" LE

8.7" total | depth 19"

1215z - SN, 22.1°

10.2" for me. But my CoCoRaHS can overflowed. I could only get 0.35" liquid out of it, but I grabbed a snow core off the board and left it at home to take care of later. The flag marking the snow boards is officially buried too as I'm up to 19" on the ground as well.

Never a doubt.

You'll never hurt yourself if you just assume all accumulation stops once the DGZ dries out. If you pick up a weenie half inch, embrace the good fortune, but most of the time that's all she wrote.

You should get yourself one of those 8" metal cans, like the one I have.  No issues with overflow ;).

My flags are gone too.  Was just looking where I can buy more. ACE has them.  Will need to put them through the drill holes on the boards.

I think it's only the second time since 2018 that the flag has been buried. I can't recall being over 15" on the ground all that often.

Maybe my memory is still there. I checked CoCoRaHS and I have December 2020 (20"), March 2023 (18"), and today (19") as my only snow depths over 15".

As for SNE, I wasn’t a fan of the aggressiveness of that dryslot early last night in E PA/NY. It thumped good initially, but it went to hell quickly once the DGZ dried out and the DGZ was wayyy up there around H5-6. You could almost see the line setting up along the S NY/N PA border where in NY you were getting the fronto banding and in PA it was more ragged and showery…and that all translated east quickly.

GFS has lately been overly juicy too. Looks like it was 1.5-2x too high on QPF in some parts of CT. 

Soundings were pretty dry above H700 if I remember correctly. Should have been a red flag?
