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!
-
I didn't go far, just out to bring some more wood in from the wood shed, but it is beautiful out there! Still lightly snowing from 5:30 this morning. You are colder than I am, 22.8 here.
-
Yep, I seem to be in the 'sweet spot', at least for now, lol. It is still lightly snowing with 10dbz returns overhead? Amazing.
-
Well, although the radar returns have decreased in last hour plus, I still have a decent light snow falling . Cleared the board for 7 pm reading, 1.8 inches. Adding the 0.5 at 7 am, the 2.8 at 1 pm and the 1.8 at 7 pm gives me a 5.1 inch event total, 0.5 for yesterday and 4.6 for today. There are 4.5 inches on the ground. A bit of an overachiever, forecast was 2-4 inches. Temp continues to drop, now 23.2/21.8.

Have we ever had a year where the tie-breaker cities beat the regular cities in snowfall?
