That's how it worked here. Leesburg was reporting great rates for an hour before it moved in. I was just flurrying the whole time. Once it gets going....man is it going....boom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Chill Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Yellows mean bigger flakes but not necessarily heavier rates. Flake size has almost doubled but vis is the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
