I noticed BTV was late with climate report snow but they did report 9.5" for 14th on CF6, storm total 13.7". -- Roger Smith
BTV STP was a big big surprise for most.
only 1 entry in the ball park.
waiting on CON and BDR.
may have to go with their STP from the PNS.
I saw trace only for BDR on the 14th, that was in their daily climate report at one point and also mentioned on storm threads on Am-Wx. Can't vouch for it being accurate but as for CON, they are just missing that add-on amount after midnight for 15th and as it was trace moisture at the ratios of earlier snow it must have been half a trace. :) -- RS
oft times the 'T' will appear in the preliminary afternoon issuance only to change with the final.
sometimes a 1/10" can change the standings -- no so much the SUMSQ measure -- but i don't see that happening this go-round ...
