    Good I don’t show in the snowiest ride leaderboard. It wouldn’t be fair for the others. :)

    Why aren’t my snow rides in the Individual Snowiest Ride data? I didn’t see some of my teammates’ rides either. Also I’m enjoying looking at the rest of the data, great job its a lot of fun for me, thank you!

    Were you riding while it was actually snowing or only in the snow? It counts riding time during actual snowfall. However, it’s not perfect, since conditions at any particular location may not perfectly match up with weather data.

    Does anyone know if there is a way to see all of the riders and miles for a single day in either the FS data page or on Strava? It will help me adjudicate my pointless prize, and it would be great if I don’t have to do a running spreadsheet by hand.

    PM me exactly what you need and I can probably take care of it for you

    I also wonder if there is some issue with this, as there are almost no snowiest ride entries from yesterday despite there being folks out there during the snow. Perhaps the weather data isn’t available yet.

    I wondered about the snow data too. I looked at that section after riding through the icy snowstorm last Wednesday night. The chart seemed to indicate I’d not ridden in snow (really?! :)) Not a big deal… I was just grateful to have made it home.

    Do note that the weather data only updates once a day. And it is only as good as wunderground’s observations for the station that claims to be appropriate for the start location (either location name — e.g. “Vienna, VA” or lat/lon if there is no matching location name). And there might be bugs in my code too :) (Though that part is pretty simple.)

    I noticed this last year… It’s a VA conspiracy! You’ll notice all the “SNOW” has only been in Virgina. I think Silver Spring in particular must be lacking data. Caleb and I are probably some of the only people to actually ride around 6pm friday during some of the peak snowfall. Maybe because we were riding single track in the middle of the forest if didn’t count… I can tell you that we “hiked” I mean “biked” about 12 miles in complete white out. Sligo creek pkwy had about 2 inches on the way out, on the way back about 5-6 in just about 2 hours. I thought we would be sleeping in the park for sure.

    Well, none of my rides in Kyiv when it’s been snowing got any credit either. I have at least four days where snow has been falling during my ride, but not much accumulation and the rides have been fairly short.

    If someone can PM/email me some specific snow-falling rides, I will look into the data to ensure there isn’t a bug. There have been some problems with weather sync lately too, which could be the culprit.

    Probably the closest US weather station to Kyiv is Nome, AK, which is notoriously dry.

    It snowed during this ride though not as heavy as predicted. https://www.strava.com/activities/476870582

    I’m not sure how Strava’s heat maps work, but do you know if it would be possible to create a BAFS heat map, or heat maps by team? Please let me know if this is a possibility, thanks!
