'12-'13 Winter Storm #17

Posted: 03 May 2013 08:28 AM

Needless to say, we are witnessing history and rewriting the snowfall record books for a storm in May! The featured map is an attempted analysis of the snow that has fallen so far over the past three days. The difficult part is that ground and pavement temperatures are warm, so the snow is melting as it falls. The iterative method of measuring snowfall every hour or so will also tend to inflate the totals as compaction is an important part of snowfall measurement. Regardless, a lot of moisture has fallen in the form of rain, sleet, and snow. This will be an event to remember for a long time! Enjoy witnessing history!
