Heavy snow. Kicking back with a couple mad elf beers and watching A Christmas Carol.

Very peaceful night for a walk, still not too cold. Just about 5" in Elliott.

Glad we can stop hearing about that now

Awesome storm. Guessing I ended up near 6" or so. Beautiful outside. Took a nice jebwalk earlier which was long overdue

Pretty impressive to have a clipper with  no real surface low and no lake enhancement, deliver 4-7”.

Finished just over 6.5” with a small potential for a bit of extra today with lake effect. What a wonderful storm!

Just measured a fluffy 10”! Not looking forward to the end of the week now

I guess 4" in one day is still possible, lol!  And in December no less.  Just kidding.

I think the bartender screed up and poured me a 16 ounce Mad Elf last night, instead of whatever smaller pour was standard. Added to a very festive night.

Going with 6.75 after some settling and drifting. It shows how my eyes are deceiving. Yesterday as it started after couple hours in I though I had 1 in or so but it was over 2 inches. When I woke this morning I thought I was over 8 inches but didn't make 7.  So at about 11.4 so far. 2 - 4+ storms...Hmmm

Can’t complain about this event. Probably 5-6” imby.

Looks like a nice band setting up NE AGC.

Been watching that about 10 miles north of me and hallucinating it sinking south. It might be starting to

GEFS hinting at some post frontal snows Friday but we know how those normally go. Then we will see how things shake out after Christmas.

It keeps pivoting / breaking up over me. Mainly just on and off light snow, but adds to the scene.

It’s been sitting right over my place in northwest Westmoreland all morning. Moderate to heavy at times. Picked up another 1.5” so far with it still going. Sitting at 8”. It’s wonderful.

Finished up with about 5 1/4” of snow.

6.25”. Can’t wait to get some more snow globe vibes today

If that final NWS obs comes in at 3.9”, it’s moot what anyone got in their backyard, and the streak will continue.

I don’t even know where this myth came from that I predicted no more 4” daily snows. If you go back to the *unedited* post in question, I said “you have to expect that breaks soon” before jokingly posing the question whether it would never happen again. Which is a reasonably way to cope with nearly 4 years of no bona fide storms.
