How is that possible, there's only one golf course in O'side?
-
Near perfect temps, a slight breeze and abundant sunshine through still (mostly) bare trees drying out the forest floor surface ought to make today a great day to go for a hike.
-
I'm so glad it's not winter anymore or I'd have to be really disappointed in this wind driven 36° rain. Instead I can think of it as bringing May flowers and appreciate it
-
No not really
-
Sleet!
-
I've got waves of pretty heavy sleet showers moving through for the last 20 minutes or so. At 35° it's mostly rain but in the heavier showers it tries to accumulate.
-
Yup. 17" of paste took a branch down on the tree in our front yard that landed right on the power line to the house. It sparked all night long and scorched the side of the house,I think the only reason it didn't light the house up was the heavy, wind driven snow being blown right into it. I heard about that transformer fire the next day.

The last April Fools storm was a disaster here. I would be ok with it if that doesn't happen again.
-
So you think it ought to be nice by about Memorial Day weekend? Can we have a month or two of drought after that?
-
27 here but as low as 23 further down the hill.
-
50° today ought to nearly finish off the 4-5" that's left.
-
Nice wind. Good thing all the heavy wet snow melted off the trees already.
-
Yup, which is why I mention max and final depth. This time I also did the old 6 hr which would have me a bit over 12" but there was another band that dropped more that disappeared quickly that I add (mostly for my own entertainment) because it was easily measurable but didn't fit the rules.
-
At one point there was 10" on the ground but total was around 15". I lost 4" in the first round of melting and settling then another 4" in the next two melt offs. At 1am, after the snow finally stopped there was 7.5-8" on the ground and a bit over 10" on the undisturbed car top in a cold, wind sheltered spot.
-
^ So my ~14" isn't too far off from that, hopefully a few more will validate my unorthodox measurements.
-
@sn0wyou should come back up this way, it's still coming down. Winding down but still low vis. A bunch of cars tried to get up and slid back down so be careful if you come up this way. 29/28/WNW 2-4 SN-
-
Still going and accumulating nicely at 31°
-
... And again, back in the soup. Temp just popped below 32 and the vis dropped to about 800 feet as the flakes got nice and big a few minutes ago.
-
Hmm, last gasp? I thought it was done but, nope. Back to heavy with good sized flakes. Crazy...
-
He was working. Couldn't ya tell? Sheesh
-
Even 3° colder would've done wonders, just as important would've been a cold day preceding so we didn't lose so much from the bottom. It's still going pretty good here but the flakes are small and the wind is coming up. It started to brighten to the west but it's the wrong time of day for that to continue. At this point the accumulation rate probably equals the melt rate so I could call it at 12-13 and feel no guilt. Well, not much anyway.
-
Kings Ridge Rd is just a few blocks uphill from me. It's nuts right now. I can't say I'm disappointed haha
-
I'm about 18 miles SE of that spot and 400 feet down but I'm nearly there at about a foot. @DRVTSis a few miles east and I bet he's at least equal based on the direction of these bands.
-
I'm getting absolutely dumped on right now and it's been like this for about an hour and a half with heavy but not crazy for an hour before that. Snow globe stuff and all at 33°. FKNA YEAH! My back hurts
-
This is insane when these bands come through. I've been under one for over an hour now and even at 33° I've gotten 4" making it about 6" since my 6am measurements, totaling 12 and it's coming down 2-3"/hr right now. It has taken multiple measurements to get there though because it melts fast when the rates lighten up. It was down to ~3-4" before the current band.
