This storm should have some widely variable snowfall reports... if you are clearing a board every 6 hours (starting last night/early this morning) and adding them up in these long duration marginal events, you may be able to get double the snowfall of what you actually have on the ground when the storm ends, lol.

 

I'd recommend everyone finds an elevated wooden surface and measure then clear each 6 hours and add them up (j.spin style)...we'll get some solid totals over 36 hours that way.

I'm going to clear off my picnic table after 6" should be soon.

That's my plan, I'm going to set up a board when I get home, that way my report for NWS is accurate, I was not confident in the one for the bilzzard but sent it in with a disclaimer, they took it, but I want it to be right...

Cool... yeah this has the feel of a storm where someone can get 18 inches of actual snow falling from the sky but only have 10-12" on the ground at the end.  Measuring and wiping clean will take care of that settling, compaction, and melting that occurs over time.

Getting lucky with banding overlapping in the hills, sort of visible on the dual-pol

Just got radarscope the other day, wish I did a long time ago. climate.cod only has looping for a hand full of sites across the country so it's nice to have dual-pol loops now.

You could probably end up with over 6" there if things go decently. Picked a good spot to move. Thinking 3-5 does it for me but we'll see.

over the last hour and a half we are down to 33 degrees..even the roads are starting to get a little slushy..the ground is rewhitened, cars etc and its snowing at a decent clip..its 615pm

 

so the way i see it we have til around 9am tomorrow morning to pile it up provided decent or better rates...so easily 15 hours of prime accumualting time...so if this indeed turns into a firehose..should be no problem getting at least several inches even here in the valley
