clskinsfan Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Been good here so far. I think the back edge is getting close. Totals later. Were good for a couple more hours. Just moderate snow now out here. Measured a little over 6 inches on top of the 1.5 from this morning. I am satisfied we got at least one 6 inch snow this winter. Enjoy it!

psuhoffman Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 lost power for a little while, I really hope that doesn't happen again. Went for a walk, its really crazy out. Its like a downpour of snow. Because of the wind combined with the wet snow its so thick on the ground you can almost walk on it without sinking in at all. Kinda neat but it means its killing our ratios. Shame, 5 degrees colder and this would be a 20" dump in like 6 hours. Still cant complain about this at all.

BlizzardNole Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 About 7" here and it was just around 2" when I got home around 4:30! Still 32.2 degrees and even the top snow level is very, very wet -- I am going to take a rake out in a bit and use it to shake our Leland cypress trees to get some of the mashed potato snow off of them or they are going to get damaged. I'm excited to try out my new snowblower in a while, but I wonder if it gets clogged in this dense wet snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnis Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 7 inches in Damascus, northern montgomery county. 4.5 inches in the last 2 hours. Hello MJB, I'm in Damascus ad well. I was guesstimating about the same using the eyeball method. The snow rates have rivaled all of the last year's big snows. Incredible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dalfy Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Jebwalk is impossible.. tried to do it.. rates were too bad and the whole neighborhood's lights were flickering.. IE if we lost power while I was walking... Id be screwed, it would be pitch black and I wouldnt be able to see anything. At any rate, I got out pretty far saw the whole neighborhood lights flicker and so I went back as fast as I could and took a couple pics right outside of the house I will post them in the picture thread.. So far I have 6'' and the temp is 31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
