Jackstraw Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Am a little surprised. Expected a few hours of lull from the models but it hasn't stopped and is actually snowing the heaviest of the event right now. Was out about 45 min and visibility never got better than a 1/2 mile. We're up to 5 now and still coming down at good clip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Measured 7.0" at 6am, but haven't been out since. I shot some pretty good video of numerous cars stuck and even a snowplow stuck early this morning. Some of the roads were the worst I've ever been on and I got my 4 wheel drive SUV stuck twice.

cyclone77 Posted January 12, 2019 Author Share Posted January 12, 2019 3.5" here as of 1pm. Had a little over 4" at work when I left about 45 min ago. Had a nice period of rates around mid-morning. The snow is fairly wet, and is sticking to trees, etc with relatively light winds. Looks like perhaps another 2" or so, so we'll make a run at 6". If you would have told me yesterday we'd have a shot at 6" I would have spit out my drink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I forgot all about that one since it was such a narrow path of snow and we got whiffed on it.
