Ajdos Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Nice, although locally I appear to be south of any appreciable precip for a while. Yup but you still end up around 10"+... Sleet here atm.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McDude Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Much more snow at work on the southeast side than here at home. Going to be hard to get 4" out of this slop. Unless I'm missing something. Despite impressive radar returns not really coming down that hard. Sleep now. We'll see in the morning. Edit: I suspect as temps drop might be easier to accumulate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
