Nice pic 2001... that band looks intense on radar!  Hope it holds together out this way.  We're probably closing in on a fluffy inch imby

 

 

2001kx nice!!

With it being 25 degrees the snow is having no problem laying on the streets. "most everything coated"

:snowing:

 

not much happening now.

Left home with about 1.5 of powder. Roads were just starting to get bad. But once I reached Altoona barley any snow on the ground.  Looks like maybe between 0.5 or 1 inch here. Hard to tell due to the wind picking up. 

 

I just measured a little over 1.5" here total so far today after that last squall moved thru. Looks like that squall put some more on the ground just down the road in Altoona with another squall coming off the mountain. There's some nice fluff to the snow today too. Easily the best of the year ratio wise.
