It slowed down for about 30 minutes but resumed pounding in the last few minutes. Just lucky with this one with the constant weenie band! -

Indeed, very steep hill but the plows do a good job. -

First flakes here and 32. -
Thanks Walt, I understand. I get that that 15" is the right number but I also have a (personal) hard time getting past snow OTG as my storm total. It's hard for me to say that "we got 15" when the most snow I had OTG at one time was 13.5". From what I can tell in the PNS' there is great inconsistency in what's being reported, with the larger numbers likely correct (absent drift measurements, of which there are plenty) with the smaller numbers being what's observed on the ground.

mid Atlantic forum, as usual has the map. -
This matches me pretty close. 13.5" now on the ground but 15" storm total (conservatively).

So, my practice is always to report my snow on the ground at the time I measure (no clearing or snow board for me). Usually this is not a big issue but in a long duration storm like this one it could be. Yesterday my snow max on the ground was 12" and this morning the total snow OTG is 13.5" BUT I know for a fact that areas cleared since my 12" measurement picked up another 3". Would you report your snow total as 13.5" (the current OTG total) or 15" (the storm total)?

I don't question very often but I checked radar returns, no one within 30 miles got 90% more snow than where I am during the same period. I have 20 plus around my house near the roof line but in the flat its 10 to 12. Nothing is impossible but I say people are likely measuring roof blow off or drifts.

I'm about 9 miles away and had been all snow until 30 minutes ago, at 460' and I have 11.5. There is no way anyplace in Bridgewater has 20 legit inches. Maybe on a picnic table by a roofline.

10" with heavy snow. Temp 25. I think some people are measuring drifts. Been under brown/orange all morning 100% snow.

BTW, my "tabletop measure" is a foot. Need to get 20-30 feet from any roof for an accurate measure.
