We are under the 2.5" contour which is pretty freaking  high for a mean esp January and for the Eps as well 

If that's a mean... then I have no words. And it's only 15 days. 

If anything even close to that happens, then today's disappointment will be a distant memory for those of us who didn't score this time.

To be honest, as frustrating as it is to compare our 4-6 inches to the 8+ inches others are getting, I still would never call this storm a dissapointnent! For the majority of the week we were saying 1-3 inches was the best bet. Most of us made out better than that and had enough snow to shovel and go out and enjoy.

There’s a small space between the bottom of the ruler and the 0 mark that’s about 0.2 inches long. Is it improper of me to adjust for that?

nah, I do that. if that's improper then disqualify me. We should buy better rulers though :lol:

I'm told the final total in my N Arlington backyard is 9". As much as I trust my family, I'll check NWS reports in the morning.

Still snowing at a fair clip in Charlottesville. Adding up those tenths.

Nice overachiever even up here.  Unofficial Jebwalk measurements of 7-7.5" on the ground and 2 1/2-2/34" from round 2.  Might squeeze out a bit more before it shuts off.  We've way overachieved in both the Nov 15 event and this....good start.

Should also mention the on the ground measurements are probably a little short on overall snowfall since we got nothing measurable during the day and some melting/compacting.

Yeah, I mean...the snow greed in me wants to be jealous, but...just being able to go outside and be surrounded by it...(and using my shovel for the first time since 2016)...nice start to our prime climo! Can't wait to see what's on tap in the coming weeks!

I agree.  We ended up with about 4.5" here.  Sure, it would have been nice to have more.  But we ended up doing better than I expected just a couple of days ago, and there was plenty of snow for sledding, snowball fights, etc.  And everything looks great.
