A long time ago I wrote about precipitation differences between kmdt and kcxy, especially in the winter. I took it as the station at kcxy being completely automated, hence no snow fall totals, so that snow and ice built up around gauges. Yesterday KCXY reported 0.18" of qpf. Less than half of kmdt.

Hi Guys.  Sorry, I forgot to enter my readings from yesterday's (Sunday's) snowfall.  I had multiple measurements between 3.6" and 4.0".  The snow melted down to 0.27".  If I go with 4.0" and a melted amount of 0.27", that produces an SLR of 14.8 : 1.  I'm afraid my board suffered from compaction despite being in the shade the entire day and temps in the upper teens.  The total snowfall may very well have been 5" or even a bit more.  My measurement, taken almost 24 hours after the end of the accumulating, definitely compacted, but I can't tell precisely how much compaction.

Nice to see many surrounding stations reporting temps in the single digits, with even a few below zero already (as of 12:45am), such as York reading -9 F.  Winds have barely played a factor so far with nothing more than occasional speeds of 2 to 4 mph.  I'm currently down to +5.2 degrees F.  My NWS forecast low is minus 1.  I'm pretty sure I'm headed down to zero or below over the next 7 hours.  I'll be back in the morning with my low temp.
