The week's precip is at 2.23", so that would be 30" of snow if it were cold enough. But it wasn't close to being so: temps aloft were as high as +7.6C on Monday morning, when it was raining.<br />Richard Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08313902028896263276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4572286363399496963.post-63969843991184946162015-09-28T18:13:25.215-08:002015-09-28T18:13:25.215-08:00Eric, the 6.7" of snow came out of 0.50"...Eric, the 6.7" of snow came out of 0.50" of liquid equivalent, so that's a ratio of 13.4. Total precip since Sep 25 is now 1.04", so at the same ratio you would have 14" of snow by now. September 1992 snowfall was 24.4".<br />Richard Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08313902028896263276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4572286363399496963.post-55606437820471353042015-09-28T12:47:56.957-08:002015-09-28T12:47:56.957-08:00If it had remained cool enough to snow instead of ...If it had remained cool enough to snow instead of rain, how many inches of snow would we probably have and where would that put us in the history books?
