    Still 30/13 but the wind is mostly out of the NNE now, still light @ 3 with a lowering cloud deck. The southern horizon is getting "hazy" which is usually precip trying to get to the ground so it's close. Next post will be because it's snowing.

    30/13/E3/OVC Waiting...

    I'll be ok with 2" but would like more. That doesn't sound right lol

    Yeah it takes so long to put the slippers on by 8... It's funny but all of the forums I hang out on are dead tonight.

    ^^ Ya know what really stands out for me on that list? The temps are more above freezing than below with (to me) surprisingly high avg temps.
  6. gravitylover
    ^^ For a very short term event I had a max on the ground of .75" but due to warming temps throughout and a 15 minute lull that allowed the melting to start by the time it ended there was .25" or less.

    Except @Juliancolton who is in a 4" hole on this map and stays in that range on most others too. Sorry J

    Last round of snow is moving through now but the temp went up to 34 and it's melting faster than it's falling. At one point there was near 3/4" and now it's down to a half or so and only on things like bushes and leaves or existing snow, hard surfaces are not much more than a thick coating.

    That hole on the radar is real. It stopped snowing right on cue, the ceiling stayed low and the light stayed flat, and now as it show it passing the snow is picking right back up. If you weren't watching it intently you'd miss it, pretty cool.

    ^^That sux I do remember him, was wondering what happened that he just stopped posting. I figured I'd get some flurries this morning not a full on round of snow. It's snowing pretty hard and accumulating nicely. I like when winter weather exceeds my expectations

    32/30/SSE1/SN It was legitimately heavy for a little while there but it's down to moderate now, flake size went from huge to small/med and the wind is gone. There's a fresh, clean .5" covering (so far) on everything, we'll see if the lighter rates don't allow for some melting on the paved surfaces. edit: 5 minutes later and it's back to heavy snow with large flakes. Expectations exceeded
  12. gravitylover
    Nothing in the first round so I pretty much expected 7 flakes and then rain. That's not what happened. It's snowing hard and sticking to everything including the street. It looks to be moving pretty fast though...

    Temps are poppin', it's 34-36 around the area now. Still under a complete overcast with flurries, roads are wet.
  14. gravitylover
    It's still flurrying but it's really drying up now and the cloud deck has thinned significantly. Final additional tally from 3pm>now is a hair over 3" not the 5 I thought early this morning.
  15. gravitylover
    Still light snow/flurries, but it's really drying out now, with what looks to be a pretty thin cloud deck. The light is good and there are occasional flashes of brightness the temp had stayed down until now so this mornings 3" of fluff was easy to move out of the way. 31/25/NNW5/FL

    It's still snowing. The snow started around 3 in the afternoon, stopped for a few hours then picked up again early this morning. I've gotten 3" additional since the main show ended yesterday morning.
  17. gravitylover
    It started snowing again around 3:30, got serious at 5 and now there's just under 2" new. The town plow even came and made another pass.
  18. gravitylover
    Light snow picking up again, wind still out of the north and the temp is down 2 or 3° from the peak about 2 hours ago and things are freezing up again.
  19. gravitylover
    I don't know what to do with the measurement for this one. If I had a decent place to measure every 6 hours, the wind was insane, I probably would have had near 30" total. As it is my property goes from 2" > 40" with the median at 23" (at 7am). Since about 7pm it has been a mix of heavy wet snow, crystals, grains, freezing mist and nearly sunny so the compaction is impressive and its down to about 15" now. Total shoveling time (so far) is just under 10 hours, driveway banks are well over my head which is always cool, just waiting for the town plow to fill in the end of the driveway again when they come to move the banks back

    The wind was howling here for 8 hours straight. It's really light now so what's falling is just accumulating gently.
  21. gravitylover
    I don't know what to do with this. I've got from 2" to 40" on the ground. The median is 23 so I guess 23 is what it is. It's been misting for the last 90 minutes or so and was a mix of crystals, frozen grains and big flakes for 2 hours before that. It's only 30* but everything is compacting in a hurry. The compaction started around 7 last night when a round of heavy pellets and sleet fell for a few minutes and then the temp went up over night and everything settled at least a few inches and then the RN. My estimate based on what I'm seeing in the wind and temp sheltered bushes is it was probably right about 30" but I could never count it that way. The driveway banks are well over my head. Waiting for the plow to come again and fill the end of the driveway for me. I always enjoy throwing that wet, heavy, salty, slushy mess up 6 or 7 feet onto the banks

    ^^Well, it started snowing again a few hours ago. Sometimes it's at the heavy end of moderate but mostly the lighter end of moderate. It probably put down another inch and it's still accumulating now. Edit: 6:55 back to legitimately heavy snow. Yay...
  23. gravitylover
    After 3 rounds of shoveling I was wiped out. Ate some brownies, sat down and fell asleep so I didn't get to measure. Looks like it's pretty much done now, at least until the backside comes through, and the (trained) eyeball measurement is saying 2' easily. I'll get a better look in the morning after it settles
  24. gravitylover
    It ramped up around 11 and by 1 it was pounding. It slowed down to ~1"/hr for maybe 30 minutes then wound up again. The plow finally came down the street and the bank on the uphill side, my side, was chest high and settled to about 3'. My patio is 3' of dense windpack with 1 drift almost 4' high. The dog decided the (waterproof) entry mat is preferable to trying to get through that. Oh well...
