Real deal wind. Popped my head out the front door to witness a large (8" +/-) Norway Spruce branch drop on the front lawn. I gotta admit, I'm a bit nervous as I have a couple 100 footer White pines within about 30' form my house.
Looks like we got some snow up north.
I was very mild , slight cough, body aches for one morning, but yeah, the loss of taste and smell lasted about 2 weeks. Weird to wake up one morning and not have bad breath (dogs too, lol). Went to the fridge opened bag of coffee, nothing!).
Lowell has been close to average(although I haven't kept a tally), Thornton is probably about 20" below average. I think one area hit hard is around exit 24 southeast towards the lakes region.
Pack took/taking a beating in Lowell. I'd guess it averages about 6". Sunny exposed areas and roofs mostly exposed 42.8F. Just checked the webcam up north, flurries, 29.9F. Weekend now looking more white than wet. Should be rain in Lowell. Seems on average I get about 3 more weeks of winter up there.

LOL at the Lowell Law enforcement (I thought he was a firefighter). Super slantsticker.
Weird, very light here. I just reached my storm high temp of 29.5F. Most of it fell between 28-29F. Yeah, 20" might be a little high. At least 18" but agree, 20" for here is prolly a good rounded estimate.
I mentioned last night someone in my area would report a 20". Not sure if that 20" from Wilmington was Ray, but someone reported 20.1" from Lowell. Must be that guy who slantsticks from the Lowell Fire Dept.
Rates still incredible. Nice flakage. I'm guessing about 16". Someone in this area is going to be posting totals in the 20's come tomorrow AM. 29.1/28.4
Lowell is somewhat in between and past 2 hrs has been 1/2mi vis. I'd wager we're in the 8-9" range. Tough to eyeball it b/c of drifts even though wind hasn't really been an issue.. Just perfect growth.
This is the type of snow that just piles up. DGZ looked good on the 3K.
(In Lowell for this event.) Came home yesterday to a busted radiator element. Thankfully the wife was home already and was able to shut off the main and furnace.
