Silver Spring. Light, blowing snow right now.

 

You see that red thing in the picture? That's the top of a toddler wiffle ball tee that is exactly 23 inches tall. We've been tracking it since 2:20pm yesterday. It's kind of protected from drifting. For the record, there is about five inches left exposed. So....18 inches?

I'm in the vicinity of 18 as well so I'd say that's probably verified. :thumbsup:

Question about these spotter reports:  are these numbers from 6-hour measurements, or are they snow depth?

I got 16" at 8AM so I can verify your measurement.

Cool. Thanks for the verification!

Interesting that we didn't pick up as much as I expected overnight. No complaints - just that it was crushing for a few hours and I figured I'd have measured a couple inches more this morning. Got started off strong but didn't seem to score as well as some others in the deathbands.
