Down to 37.4/34.1 at 5:30, wind WSW at 7 gusting to 16 mph. Still a solid 2" on south facing to 4" in shaded areas OTG.

Made it to 44.8 around 1 pm with partly cloudy skies, now rain and 38.5. The snow in the trees finally caved as they slopped off onto the ground lol.

I was just a little 'ol fart in '69, but I DO remember it snowed. Looking at CO-OP's in the area 6-10 was common.

I got everything scraped/cleared out, then went to town. Amazing difference. A few spots there were almost bare ground, I still have 4 inches, plus all the snow still hanging in the trees and shrubs. Less than 5 miles and 300-400 foot elevation difference.

We've definitely been in the 'sweet spot' to start this winter!

It was cold! You should do the right thing and put a blanket on it to help keep it warm.

Only down to 21.0 for a low, think the clouds keep us from dropping further. Currently 21.3/20.6 and cloudy with 4.5 inches of snow OTG. The 5.1" that fell yesterday is a new daily snowfall record, breaking 1988's 3.5".

11/11 0.1 11/30 0.1 12/02 0.2 (sleet) 12/05 3.8 12/06 1.5 12/08 0.5 12/09 5.1 Total 11.3

OK, I THINK it has finally stopped snowing (at least accumulating) so I'm gonna go see what is on the board to get a final number. It has snowed for a bit over 18 hours straight! Be right back... EDIT- so another 0.5" since 7 pm clearing, that makes the event total 5.6". Just a HAIR over 4.5" OTG.

@Bob Chill, ditto here. Holler if you need an extra pair of hands with anything.

You've got a right serious set-up there. I (and son) made snow for 8 or so years. We used two 25 gal Porter Cable air compressors and 2homemade snowguns and 2 homemade snowfans. He was into snowboarding (still is, now lives in Park City) and I knew where he (and his buddies) were all winter lol. The amount of water and electricity was way up there though......

Ditto here. Snowing, nothing major, but snowing a bit. I can see the snowboard from the back window, guesstimate 0.5-0.7" has fallen since 7 pm clearing.

Awesome!

I've had a 7" and a 6" sleet storm. That stuff stayed around FOREVER!
