He is off skiing, but I'm sure he is well into double digits because those good echoes have been sitting over the glen all morning.

Meanwhile the west side of the Berks had serious shadowing issues and amounts of around 4-7 inches are a lot more common from what I can see.

I escaped the above freezing temps and rain with 4 inches OTG. This stuff will freeze into concrete later today and tonight. Great base for the snow banks. Then we add more over the weekend. Temp continues to drop as snow showers move in

Lots of folks are reporting temps dropping. Mine are rising.

30.3/30

Yeah at least you got a draw. It was an unmitigated disaster here. I have to hope I get plowable over the weekend to build any kind of pack. Cold is in thereafter for sure!

Here are a couple shots I just took now that the plow's come through. The road to the Money pit and the wind-blown open field.

1-2"/hour rate at this point.

Took me a minute to decipher that those are big snowflakes, not debris all over the place in the road pic.
