We got under the deformation band and then caught the pivot. The sweet spot.

They reported 20 cm in an hour?

No one of the local mets thinks they goofed. We had 2cm of IP before the switch. He thinks they may have counted it as 10:1 instead of the 3:1 or 4:1. It's inconclusive at the moment. That being said. I'm over 20cm easy. Probably 25cm. So that total probably is not far off.

But that's an hour after they reported all snow.  They have 5 cm at 22z, 25cm at 23z, and 31cm at 00z?

I drove from 2,500 feet in Searsburg, VT where there was around 3" of wet snow to North Adams around 650 feet where there was practically nothing and got the trek on my dashcam. Dashcams are a great way of documenting local variations in snowfall and weather in general as you drive around. Plus, they provide proof in the unfortunate circumstance of being involved in an accident.

 

Google map of my route:

Took the kids out to Union CT, probably about 1 to 1.5 In spots, found a hill for some slushy attempted sledding, it was lame like this winter so far but it was something to do to get out of the house.

lol I did that numerous times in the 80s, living in SWRI ,took them to Foster RI sledding hill,actually 1.5 miles from where I live today but 210 feet higher
