About 8 inches in ORH...prob 5" of it in the past 2-2.5 hours.

 

Exact same situation here in Shelburne, Will.

 

Here';s my experience.

 

1) Went out to pick up my daughter's friend. 

 

2) On the way back, the car (with snow tires) crapped out just short of the crest of the hill.  

 

3) Brought the friend back home.  I've now ruined my daughter's whole life by canceling a play date

 

4) Try driving home by coming up the other side of the hill.  Craps out 100 yards from my property line.

 

5) Wife gets my daughter.

 

6) I back down the windy road, slide into the soft shoulder

 

7) Wife comes back down to help and hops in the drivers seat

 

8) People come to help with shovels, snowblower to help dig out.

 

9) Flag down town plow which was making the first pass since 2".

 

10) Tag team effort, we get out and make it home

 

11) My wife was in the driver's seat--everyone thinks she drove off the road.  Me, ftw.

 

Heavy snow, 23.0/22

Must be similar situation here, that band on radar lifted north but this is heavier than it was earlier, better flakes too

 

You guys are on the edge of both GYX and BOX radars, so that beam is pushing 8,000 feet AGL. That's a lot of potential drift of snowflakes from where the radar sees it to where it reaches the ground.
