Wow it doesn't seem possible with how soggy everything has been but yeah, I'm at about .8 for the month and half of that is from last night's glopfest.
-
Well, if it's over that burst of crazy heavy snow with huge flakes last night was a reasonable way to end it. On to gardening season

32/32 and snowing hard with huge flakes. It's funny though how it's so wet it won't accumulate more than this half inch thick layer of goop and it's not really doing any good on the existing snow either. This is the biggest flakes of the year which is nice considering it may be the last.

Snowing here too.

Backyard still 100% covered but front yard torched out with the sun this week. It's been cold at night but not really. 20" for the year which is 3" behind last year's total and about the same as the total the year before if I remember right. A far cry from the previous 48+"/yr average. I think for a while up to the early 2000s my total was in the low 40s but it bumped up nicely. Now...

It was 27:1 across the street from KDXR -
All of these popcorn snow showers and I barely had a few flurries I always like when a bit of fresh whiteness is added to my snowbanks after I'm done shoveling.

Wow, you're about 13" ahead of me. -

That's a sting jet, right? -
2 1/2" on the previously cleared slate patio and 3" on the board on snow. It stayed cold here right up until the snow wound down but when the blue patches started showing through it jumped 5° real quick. I think that this is as wintry as it's looked around here in a few years. It's kinda nice. I'm at 22.? for the season so not terrible considering we have a good month of potential left but I'm not feeling another ~26" to get to average.

You feel better now? Got a nice finishing band moving through for the last little bit, it's snowing moderately again with big fluffy flakes and will likely add another inch. Time to go out and shovel and measure after another cup of coffee I -

Well that didn't last long Big fluffy flakes to almost nothing in 15 minutes. I guess I'll take my 2-3" and be happy since I didn't expect even an inch. -

Flake size really ramped up here, big fluffers floating down and accumulating nicely. Not what I expected here but I'll take it! 24/24/NE2 SN -
I'm thinking this will come in cold enough that it should be able to be cleared with a leaf blower. I'm charging up a few batteries

Have fun down there. I'll be cleaning my driveway with a leaf blower -
I only got a dusting but it's so nice to see an old skool clipper pass through. Maybe I can break the 20" mark for the season tonight/tomorrow ... ?

Right! I have accumulating graupel winding down now. -
Nice little snow showers moving through. It's mostly graupel but it looks good in my "snow lights"
-
It's kinda nice seeing all this talk about a Clipper but I'll be disappointed if it's more productive on the coast than here in the northern hills.

Yup, final is 12". It ranged from 9" on a southern exposure that saw a fair bit of wind to 14" on car tops and garbage cans. Around the yard on the ground ran from 11 on the flat to 14 on the N side in a shady spot. It looks great, I have 5 foot high snowbanks at the bottom of the driveway for the first time in a few years, the roads are dry already and I didn't run out of beer before I finished shoveling. Good storm! Puts me at 20" for the season

I would've had a real reading for y'all because I finally put out a board for this one but a branch came down and disturbed the whole area where it was Anyway, I'm good with calling it a foot, there was 8" on the flats when I started shoveling and 2 hours later there was another 4" when I got back to where I started. It's still snowing nicely but it's mostly needles and broken flakes and it's not like it was under that crazy backside band. This is some heavy stuff too, shoveling is a full body workout
