Surprised to wake up to see snow falling 

Looks like I picked up more overnight and this morning. Half inch on the snow board (never cleared it yesterday)

93%hum

29.82 bar

Nearly calm winds from south

 Actually snow total...  .75 of an inch is what I reported to NWS for skywarn... Not much lol but not bad for a first snow on Dec 5-6th !

 And I'm actually still getting very light snow falling... I thought it woulda ended over night lol

Yep, thin coating. I didn't measure.

A little more snow fell on yesterday evening's coating...I just left that in place and measured what was there this morning, 0.5". This brings event total to 1".

Once again LWX overwrote my 1.5” (which matched everyone nearby on Cocorahs) and replaced it with the ridiculously overinflated 3.0” from State Highway behind my house. I think I’ll just submit on Cocorahs from now on and not bother sending them in.

Edit: it looks like the 1.5" '5 ENE Benedict' obs from Cocorahs is mine on their map, right next to the 3.0" from State Highway LMAO

Nice! I settled with .8 but looks like you were in a better area.

Only better if you're a weenie like us and 0.2" makes a difference

Sun has broken out from behind the clouds and temp has soared to 39.2 degrees at 11:15 am, looks like it is raining in the woods from the snow melting off the trees.

I'd love to see how the weenies measure over there- slant sticking at 45 degrees or something.
