Just went out to take my hourly measurement and measured 3.6", that was 2.0" in the last hour.  The bad news...sleet has mixed in.  Looks like 75/25 snow/sleet at the moment.  So I guess that's it for me for snowfall.

Hi itstrainingtime.  :)  3.6.  I win...but only barely.  But...you win being the closest to the actual total vs my predicted 4.8.  That's great about Newville.  He's about 15 miles west of me and picked up 2" more.

I know Newville quite well! Grew up going to church camp across the road from Colonel Denning  State Park. :) 

Congrats on the snow. Yes I was very close (very lucky) but just like the Price Is Right...you exceeded my guess. I trust you to know you didn't slant stick. :)

I’m about 3 miles from Doubling Gap. Yolijwa is a great place. Went there as a kid too. Still all snow here no sign of sleet yet but I know it’s coming.

Love the lodge building! So many fantastic memories, and my kids grew up going to Wilderness Camp.

Glad to hear you're getting dumped on!
