Snowstorm - Dec 19, 2008
Another Winter Storm Warning was all up ons. As the storm moved through I documented it's progress over OSNW3. During the early morning of Dec 19, a snow less hole opened up in the storm directly over Oshkosh, which I believe kept my totals on the lower side.

Secondary Snowboard
I put out a secondary "unofficial" snowboard to capture another set of snowfall data. With the wind and blowing snow I wanted to verify what was taking place between the garages over at OSNW3 was happening elsewhere on the property. Four measurements were taken after the storm from the secondary snowboard (4.4, 4.4, 3.8, 3.2) for an average of 3.95". My official report to the NWS and CoCoRaHS was 3.9" total for the storm (individual observations above). I believe some sort of verification was achieved...

ReplyDeleteWow you did a great job keeping your nice report up I will be reporting at my blog in the same place as always keep seeing my blog for updates! you guys must have a good 6+ inches on the ground!
ReplyDeleteNo doubt, bookbabie. Currently we're getting some LES off of Michigan. I love it, no matter how light, as the winds rarely blow this way.
ReplyDeleteD, thanks man. Our current snowdepth as of 7:20am on Dec 20, 2008 is 10". I'll be keeping up with your blog and how the storm is affecting you over there!
