I'm worried that it'll be mostly melted by the time I get home, so your measurement will probably be included in the mix when I calculate my total.

 

It's a solid # to use.  we have these picnic tables just outside out office that are protected but open.  it was a uniform depth and better than using ground or cars.

 

I was surprised it was that much.

I'm not sure those numbers are from the same person/s. Less official either way.. could still come in with a 0.3". ;)

 

 

I believe it was the 1/26/11 event where IAD had 9 inches on the ground in their METAR but then reported something like 7" for the storm...which of course made absolutely no sense since the snow depth prior to the event was 0.
