I typically won’t chase a storm if my yard is in line for any snow at all. But if the weekend storm is going to have me trying to scratch out an inch while any part of the east coast has blizzard conditions, I might have to reconsider that policy.

5.5” with moderate snow. Looks like another hour or so before the good stuff cuts off here. Should easily pass 6”. Overperformer for sure for the season’s first snowfall.
