All those emergency managers seem to be slightly slant sticking...COCORAHS guy in Easton is obviously not a weenie

In all honesty the mesonet stations probably give a good approximation

 

Yeah talked with my DE coworkers 12 to 16" trees down everywhere, same in Salisbury.

 

If they were measuring actual snowfall properly, that 14 might have been correct. I'm too lazy to do that, so i just measure snow depth at the end. I am just going with 10 since I wasn't here until 4pm today, and on my security cam shots that looks about right.

Yeah, I am not sure what protocol they follow or how well they follow it.

10" sounds safe. I think another poster on here from somewhere near Denton measured 10 as well.

I reported 10". I definitely didn't get a foot or more here.

Never officially measured, but the 16-18" reported around me seems about right. Easily pushes this beast into top 5 territory for me. Power came back around 1pm, that was a 9 hour outage, rare for this area to be sure. Thankful it's back on.

 

What a winter, even if it's only been two real storms. The tracking and real world impacts were just amazing.
