aldie 22 Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 RAP says it will take a little to get organized...actually has a somewhat prolonged event....maybe 5-7 hours I could see you getting 2" out of this Would be sweet!!...this first batch is small but looks to be building. I know the NAM didn't have the bulk in here until after 2pm or so. I hope we all see some flakes today though...it is pretty cold out so the holiday feel is there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
