CarlislePaWx Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 I just reached the 18" mark!! Super heavy band appears to be rotating in from the east. Snowing at 2"/hr rates right now. I can't believe in the CTP snowfall map that I'm like the bullseye of 30-36". Visibility down to around 1/16th mile. NUTS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voyager Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 10.25" a few minutes ago. Radar looks as good as it looked before, but it's not translating to intensity at the surface as we're still moderate as I can see the mountain a quarter mile from my house which I couldn't see earlier.

heavy_wx Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Measured 4.5" here on the ground. There's currently some light snow with mainly smaller, irregularly-shaped crystals and some small aggregates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blizzard of 93 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Holy crap. I think The news just said KMDT was officially at 22. As of 6 am, MDT had 12 inches per the public statement on CTP's website. I'm sure there's been at least a few more inches since then, but 22 by now Would seem a little high. Later today, I think 20+ will be no problem! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NortheastPAWx Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Lol, the guy on ABC27, just said " we still think 12-20 until it's all said and done" 20 will be the absolute minimum, and that's if the snow stopped there by noon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blizzard of 93 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 CTP needs to get the measurement at MDT as accurate as possible For the record books. I've been left scratching my head several times Over the years at their official amounts,especially during the big events. I want to finally beat 1983 !!!
