I JUST got off the phone with NWS Blacksbug. They were trying to confirm what happened in this area this weekend. I gave them my totals, what was on the ground now and what types of precip I had. And WHY would they call you ask? Well, Covington CO-OP (who is notorious for reporting either low or not at all) reported 3.4 inches yesterday 0.0 today and 4 OTG this morning. So they INCREASED OTG but reported no new snow. Then Hot Springs CO-OP (which usually does a great job) reported 7.0 yesterday with 7.0 OTG, then 8.0 this morning with 8.0 OTG (I'm guessing they oopsied and put OTG for new snow too). BTW- I'm the 4.1 E Covington

Backing in.

Somehow I managed to get skipped with the freezing rain. Super, super happy about that.

I know it has been said before, but a friendly reminder that this stuff is H E A V Y. Don't overdo yourself and mess up your back or end up in ER with a possible HA. This stuff isn't going anywhere soon. To those that haven't touched the stuff yet, best to make just enough of a path or opening to get in and out for yourself (and vehicle if you wish to chance it) and work on the rest later. Few flurries in the air, wind is sadly still whipping around NNW at 10 gusting to 22 mph. Temp 17.6/9.4.

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 01/17 0.1 01/25 4.5 (mix of snow and sleet) 01/26 2.8 (95-97% sleet) Total 18.7

Storm totals here, 4.5 inches yesterday, 2.8 today for a 7.3 inch event total with 1.91 liquid. I did FOUR CoCoRaHS measurements/SWE's to get an average for the property. Bottoms of hills and low spots have 7-8 inches and the tops of hills have as little as 4. Ended up with a 5.5 average (and that is what a level spot and the undisturbed snowboard measures) on SWE of 1.85. Temp rose to a 3 am high, then down rapidly as winds turned on from W/NW. Currently 17.7/12.3 with W 12 gusting 26 wind with some flurries in the air. There are 18+" of sleet piled on ground at the bottom of the roof where the angles meet lol.

My wife got 2 pair after tearing a tendon in her foot the very FIRST TIME she went on snow/ice here after moving from California. I had her hand as we slowly crossed and said 'Now be careful, this stuff is" and she was down. Anyway, a pair stay in the house and one in the vehicle we take out now in the winter.

Same here. I have a second-floor deck over a lower-level patio. 97.8852% of the time that patio has enough snow on it to brush off with a broom after a storm. Not this time! There is more on the patio than on the deck above.

Same way it was doing it here at 11 degrees this morning?

And the sleet is back, pretty good timing watching the radar for a restart time.

I had 1.05 at 7 am this morning. I'm likely around 1.5-1.75 now.

I am back to a snizzle here. Looking at radar, I may get a 30-45 minute pause before getting into the next round. Temp has popped up to warmest in last 24 hours at 16.1/13.0 at 3:15 pm. NWS lowered my forecasted 27 high at 7 am to 22 at noon and I likely won't make that either.

How close is that to Norrisville?

Still sleet with some snow grains/dust here, intensity varies. Temp 14.1/10.2.
