bmj16725 Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 11.5" here as of 6 PM - took an average from different spots in the yard -difficult to measure due to winds, but seems representative. This is tied with 2/9/17 as being the best events since February 13 (Nemo). 23.25" total on the year - halfway to average snowfall by January 4th is pretty good.
