Only 5 degrees out, feels kind of chilly

Another 4 inches overnight. 10.3 total. When I shoveled the back walk, it had more heft to it than I was expecting.

Another inch, 7.4 now.

Come north to WRJ area mile marker 70, we have 6+ inches, you can then take 89 back down or at least go to Okemo instead of Wilmington

6.4 inches now

Up to 5 inches now.

This is generally where I am, 1240 feet in elevation 43.75°N 72.36°W

3 inches as of 3pm

Snow started lightly here about 11 and in earnest at about 11:15 right after I got back from running my errands, including shear pins and sparkplug for the snow blower. Already whitening everything up.

Well I better go run my errands now and beat the fun. Most SWFEs are good for 4.5 to 7 inches here so in my head I am planning on that.

Upgraded to a Warning for tomorrow for home. https://forecast.weather.gov/showsigwx.php?warnzone=VTZ012&warncounty=VTC027&firewxzone=VTZ012&local_place1=West Norwich VT&product1=Winter+Storm+Warning&lat=43.7543&lon=-72.3728#.Ybz8-GjMJPY Caledonia-Washington-Orange-Windsor-Eastern Addison- Eastern Rutland- Including the cities of St. Johnsbury, Montpelier, Bradford, Randolph, Springfield, White River Junction, Bristol, Ripton, East Wallingford, and Killington 330 PM EST Fri Dec 17 2021 ...WINTER STORM WARNING IN EFFECT FROM 1 PM SATURDAY TO 7 AM EST SUNDAY... * WHAT...Heavy snow expected.

With any storm, when in doubt, always predict Woodford VT gets the most snow.

Probably "Grey Poop On" brand.

Lets review where things look for the weekend: 1. 5- 8 inches for my area 2. Falls on weekend 3. Starts late enough I can take trash and recycling to the dump on Saturday AM 4. Ends soon enough, I can dig out the driveway on Sunday. I approve of this approach.

In 2017, I got 10.8 inches of snow on Christmas. I don't remember if others got much.
