Deck Pic Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 I'm liking the rate in Annandale. If this keeps up until tomorrow 6am, I'll certainly see 8". what a couple others mentioned would be ideal...that the light end on the front overperforms because conditions for snow growth are so good.

mappy Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 not trying to be condescending, but as long as you get enough to cover your lawn and have your kid play in it and have it look pretty, amounts are really about stats and ego. In the real world 3" vs 6" isn't that big of a deal. Weenies just happen to be obsessed with winning and stats padding. oh sure, I'm not too worried. but i am sorta the only one getting the least amount. hence, the ouch. I've kept my expectations to 3", anything more is a bonus. But ~.1 is sort of disheartening to see. I'm sure you can relate if roles were reversed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastCoast NPZ Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 15F / 4F. DP has risen 8F since late morning. Don't know that I can recall seeing such a spread between the air and DP with precip falling, the spread was even greater when the snow started.
