It’s absolutely dumping chicken feathers here

I like that term.  
I’m in Surry Co and it been snowing steady since around 8:30 last night. 
Nothing heavy just steady. 
Bird eye view I would say we have about 4 in. and it still snowing.Temperature is 20 degrees so that’s a 20 to 1 ratio

I know Haystack road well. This Bannertown boy used to date a girl out that way when I was in high school.

Nothing like waking up to 22 degrees, a snow covered ground, and more falling

Its cold. Just got back in from feeding all the animals (Horses, Chickens and such).

should be at an 1" if not more.

 

But its raking with below 1/2 mile vis

I’m up now! It’s beautiful! Not too heavy, but so beautiful. Very light and fluffy. Somewhere between an inch and two so far. 21.3 outside. Looks like I’m on the northeastern edge of the precipitation shield right now.
