Measuring snow The correct way to measure snow Sometimes not a “no- brainer”!

You will need two SNOW BOARDS. Approx. 3 ft X 3 ft and painted white. One board never gets swept (this one is for continuous snow depth) The other board gets swept during snow event every 6 hours. Wiggle room here!! The total snowfall for event is the Summation of all 6 hourly measurements

First order climate locations At airports—MANY challenges Poor siting-NWS has no say where they are. Too many obstructions Too few acceptable locations to measure. CENTRAL PARK BETTER—open sky, natural terrain, 24/7 coverage, yearly training. Doing it here since winter of
