boiler1111 Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Got out for a nice run at lunch time today - side roads were slushy - main roads just wet- In the past 2 hours - snow had begun to really accumulate on side roads. Temps have fallen back from 34 to 32 IMBY. Like others are reporting - flake size is small - but it's piling up pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
