Godzilla 2022 JAN 28th-29th Observations

I was on the low end of the ruler up here. Glad others got the white gold. 6 degrees this morning. 10 mph winds. Man, that wind was making it feel cold yesterday while snow cleaning

Trust me on this one Bob, I'm not saying the errors were egregious just off.

Let's first start with the basics, the Park reported 1.2 inches of snow on the 28th and 7.3 inches on the 29th which equals 8.5 for the storm. Simple math right? Yet they recorded 8.3 inches as a storm total. It was at least 9-10. If they can't even add 1+1 I don't trust they can stick a ruler on a snowboard and record amounts, a lot of times they don't. Years and years of experience with them has taught me this. The Conservancy helped for awhile but I'm not sure who's recording totals there this year.

Good Morning,

How much snow did you get in Caldwell. My dad lives there, I am sure he did not measure..lol

I may eclipse Doc on this one. He's about 6 miles west of me and I don't know if he made it into this band that's sat over eastern Orange County the last two hours. Best rates of the day.

I know other totals south and east are prolific but if I get to 10 it's an over performer for sure up here.

Your right, CP, that band just missed me.Trained spotter in Monroe logged 5.5 inches so going with that.Almost a foot on the ground plus we have 5 inches of solid concrete below.That will enable us to survive the snowpack attack coming later this week when temps torch and it rains.

We may not be seeing that so called Torch Doc. As Mugs pointed out earlier and Frank & RB too things are trending colder for mid late week. Not sure about that storm yet, seems like several scenarios are at play. Rain, ice, snow? Very complex setup. I do like those setups for our area though, as long as the models don't shove this to far south we might be in a good spot. Several days away though so this too shall change. Even this mornings GFS has it colder but still liquid for most of the forum.

Made it to 6 inches here as per trained spotter and was happy to get that.Almost a foot OTG with old snowpack.
So far NWS not buying anything but 40's and rain , but as you say CP, that could change.I am expecting everything to go S and E of us as this is the pattern that has been set this winter.Let's see if that changes in February and March.This season reminds me of the "snowmageddon " year when the big ones were all S of us.Have a friend In DE that has 10 inches more than me so far !

CP N DOC congrats on your SMecs......snowfall that be!! A combo of secs and men's. We pulled some weenie powers together for ya!

Hey and speaking of power, where is SROC with his total, or did I miss his post and video of takinga dive into the 4' snow drift?

I just want to take a moment and thank you all for your input on this board and the kind words. It is a rare bread of snow weenies that we are and I get it everyone wants to cash in after models say one thing and deliver another. A lesson of life and thank God,seriously, we can discuss, Banter, and have the abilities of some on this board as well as see su h a beautiful nature event.

Onto the next one and keep the faith!!

Ended up with about 3 here! Looking at the end of week for interesting things up this way.
