Here's a couple pix of my 'test bed' Met One 034 wind monitors after 12" of heavy wet widow maker, finger taker snow. It came with almost no wind during the big Minnesota/Wisconsin storm yesterday. After the snow it expectedly turned colder and set the wet stuff in place.
The snow was on ground and sidewalks that had 40s lows (yup, February here) and 50s and 60s highs for many days, so the lower snow was melting and made throwing the snow with the trusty John Deere more like extruding toothpaste out the discharge chute.
Nonetheless, when I looked out to to see the poor things embarassingly covered in show. Maybe the wind gusts today will shake it lose.
