10" after several measurements in Chesterfield. Not sure how to calculate the obvious compaction. Regardless, it was a heavy, wet slug of work to clear the drive.

I'm a bit worried about the wind picking up and the snow becoming more pasty today...think we could see some isolated power outages from that. The pine trees are really starting to sag.

I'm calling it 6.5" here. I believe we had maybe a bit over 7", but compaction is already taking a toll.

It looks like the precip is about to go pffft according to radar. Not long after Cantore started reporting from here. Coincidence? I think not. |

It's likely you will get a higher value if you use the official NWS procedure of taking 6-hourly measurements and clearing off the board/surface. For example, as of 8am I had 9.6" measured, but only a depth of 8.5". This is usually why you see higher amounts at the official sites. I'm pretty sure they use the 6-hour method at the airports. So yeah, it's no surprise that you had a depth of 11.0" but a measurement of 11.5" philbilly. www.weather.gov/media/coop/Snow_Measurement_Guidelines-2014.pdf3.1.4. Measuring snowfall once every 6 hours
YOUR SERVICING NWS OFFICE WILL LET YOU KNOW IF YOU ARE REQUIRED TO TAKE 6-HOURLY
MEASUREMENTS. OTHERWISE ONLY TAKE 24-HOUR MEASUREMENTS.
The following procedures should be followed for observers required to take observations every
6 hours. This is often the case for observers at major airport locations. If you take your
observations at this frequency, make sure that you clear your SMB no more frequently than
every 6 hours. Record the frequency of observation during the 24-hour period in the comments
section of your report. Sum the 6-hour observations to obtain the daily snowfall measurement
and report that total at the normal observation time.
Never add more than four 6-hourly observations to determine your 24-hour snowfall total. If
you add more than four observations it could inaccurately inflate the snowfall total. Because it
is not possible for most observers to take snowfall measurements every hour, this standard
practice of providing 6 hours between snowfall measurements during a snow event ensures a
standard length of time for snow to settle between measurements and helps ensure consistency
and uniformity among stations. Note however that if snowfall stops before the end of a 6-hour
period that you should measure the total as the greatest amount, even if it occurs before the
end of the 6-hour period.

I also find it interesting that TWC has 3 mets in the field today, two of which worked in St. Louis, and didn't send either here.
