I measured 5.3" around 45 mins ago. The crazy thing is when I measured at 8 AM (2.2"), there was 0.48" liquid in my gauge. I also did a core and came up with 0.38", a bit less presumably because of some melting off the board at the start. That's a very low ratio. This is gonna be a bear to shovel....

I measured 6" here at noon on the snowboard.  For yucks, I went and measured near it on the grass (where the snow had melted off yesterday) and most of those came up 7".  So if you are not using a board here, the total is inflated by about an inch.  YMMV.

 

With no drifting, a picnic table that isn't right next to the house or near trees would probably be a good measuring spot today.  This is a lot easier to measure accurately than the earlier snowfalls.
