Winter '10 / '11 - Snow Storm #1 - Preliminary Verification

Preliminary storm-total snowfalls for Sunday and Monday from CDUS41...CXUS51...and PNS.

No snowfall data in the NWS climate bulletins for SBY.  Verifying storm-total snowfall is the average of two vicinity station reports from AKQPNS.  This station's snowfall reporting fell into a black hole last year and has yet to reappear.

Storm-total snowfall for CON looks suspicious given its relatively low water equivalent; however...vicinity reports carried in BOXPNS suggest the amount is accurate.

Twelve new daily records.

ACY - 17.4" (0.2"; 1970)
