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!

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?

Right at 4" at 5 pm, temp down to 25.0/22.7. A pic before it turns dark.

All the reporting stations inside that circle are reporting either snow or light snow with .5 to 2 mile visibility, so THAT is reaching the ground. The question becomes can it cross over the mountains AND survive the drying atmosphere on this side of the mountains. I guess we shall find out over the next couple of hours. I can't remember which model showed it, but the precip is starting to 'split' like shown on that model yesterday, kudos.

Yep, even down this way flake size has decreased most of the afternoon. Right now it is POURING snow, but flakes range from pixie to eraser end size. Still, snow is snow. Down two degrees in 30 minutes, currently 26.1/23.4 with a NNE wind 7 gusting 14 mph.

3 pm numbers. 3.3 inches OTG, temp dropping, down to 27.9/25.0. Decent moderate snow falling now.

One of the models is showing 100??

Noon report. Have 2.5 OTG, temp 31.5 DP 29.6 with light snow falling. Flakes have consistently gotten smaller in last hour, must be drying a bit upstairs.
