I can't get an accurate measurement on the new stuff...wind is howling up on my ridge...blowing everything around.  I would guess around 9" total so far.  

@HighStakes I am going to go with your measurement for the post sleet part of this storm...the wind up here is just too ferocious to get any kind of accurate measure.  You might be more sheltered down there to get a better idea.  Also...if we can get that band forming now to our SW to pivot through here in the next 2 hours we might break 10".  Definitely a good way to start the year.  

Its blowing pretty good down here too. I see the band. 

7 inches with afternoon snow, then about an inch of sleet/snow mix and then about 1.5 so far of snow on top of that. Total 9.5 as of now.

Man its ripping here . Reminds me of the feb 10th 2010  when the ull energy crossed over WV and radar blew up . Good wind with that one . This will obviously be just like a 3 hour part 2 of today but on a small scale similar. 

At least 3 inches new snow . 

That was the pinnacle of my snow weenie life.  We already had 25" OTG going into that one and ended up with close to 30" in that storm.  It had everything...the first part was a crazy thump of 12" heavy wet snow in 4 hours then part 2 was hours and hours of true blizzard conditions...I remember walking around town..drifts up to roofs just marveling at a sight you never see outside alpine resorts usually.  I mean I've experienced that when I was in blizzards at Steamboat Springs, Revelstoke, and Jackson Hole...but never that combo of snow depth and blizzard conditions where I live.  Probably never will again.

Just starting to see the affects here of that band you're in now.

Damn thanks for the heads up...just went out and its really coming down...huge flakes.  My flood lights are out so I can't really tell without opening the garage and turning on the light over there.  The flood light wasn't really in a great spot anyways...I need to figure something out.

Getting destroyed just north of you in southern York county. Heavy snow and 30-40 mph winds.

We're definitely over 10 now for the storm.
