Snow-to-liquid ratios (SLR) less than 8:1 are not reported for stations with measurable snowfall b/c significant liquid and / or freezing precipitation also occurred during the verification period.
The 'TOT SLR' field is the quantity-weighted average of those forecast stations with at least an 8:1 SLR.

I was in the Jackman, ME area for the solar eclipse. The 13" snow that had fallen in the contest event had been reduced to around 1" average snow cover. During the course of the day, more and more bare spots opened up as the snow continued to melt rapidly. Shaded areas retained somewhat more snow cover. Areas exposed to a lot of sunshine had none.
i wondered about how much snow was left in upstate ME post-Storm #3. sounds like it worked out well for you. we viewed the eclipse through a thin cirrus deck over Mansfield OH. biggest concern in the run-up to the event was the persistent forecast for a low post-frontal overcast which did not materialize. saw the one in '17 from SC. too bad this will be the last one for me b/c they're quite the experience ...
I'm happy to hear that you were able to see the recent eclipse. It was crystal clear in Jackman, ME. A few hours earlier, some high clouds passed across the sky, but they were all gone by the time the eclipse got underway. It was an unforgettable experience. I had initially planned to go to Watertown, then Plattsburgh, and considered Montreal and Burlington, before switching to Maine based on the evolving cloud forecasts.
