Storm dying out, probably end up with 6 inches.  But 6 inches that came out of nowhere is fine with me. 

How often has your area received 6” or more from a single storm?

More common than you think.  We do get snowstorms in southeaster VA.  It's feast or famine.  Last year was 1 in, 2 in, 2 in, 8.5 inches.  The previous two years were nothing.  We average 8 in a year.  We could be zero or 20 inches.  Nor'easters can drop 8-12 inches on us.

I forgot to mention that there’s a dedicated thread for today’s storm. For documentation purposes, you may also want to post your results in there:

 

 Today here I just got an invigorating walk in with low 40s and just enough breeze to give it a nice bite. Today’s high of only 51 (normal is 65) means that every day so far this month has had a high only in the 50s. We already had had the first time in recorded history (back to 1874) of no high reaching 60 for Dec 1-7. Now it’s also the first time for that for Dec 1-8 and tomorrow is going to make it the first time for Dec 1-9!

 Rainfall so far this month is over 2”, which is way above the normal of 0.75” for Dec 1-9. For the first time since at least Thursday we had no rain.

Light snow/flurries, I'm looking up in the sky and I don't see a single cloud.  Meteorologists, please explain.
