Yea, I know it happens, but its still eyebrow raising for me....even in winter it can happen. I was floored in Dec 2003 when I had like 11", and I drove like 5 miles southeast and there was over 2'...was nuts and infuriating. I also remember a hell of a hail storm driviing through Reading, MA when I was a kid, and then we got home in Wilmington, just over the line, and hardly a trace.
