That’s what I measured on the deck. But for sure I am over 2”. Snowing heavily. Flakes bigger too. It was needles before

yeah it's really coming down now. was getting like 0.6-0.7"/hr before even with the needles, so whatever this drops is going to be insane

YMMV.  But I've recorded 122 measurable snow events (at least 0.25".  T dont count) since 04-05

This event has an outside shot at 4 of 122. No sleep. (except maybe quick lull nap later)

Top 10 individual events imby since 04-05 winter.
 
1) February 5-6, 2010 - 22.5"
2) January 22-23, 2016 - 20"
3) December 18-19, 2009 - 18.5"
4) February 9-10, 2010  - 12.5"
t5) February 11-12, 2006, January 12-13, 2019 - 11"
7) February 12-13, 2014 - 9"
8) March 16-17, 2014 - 8"
t9) March 1-2, 2009, January 3, 2022 - 7.5"

 

The last time we had close to double digit snow in the area was the January 2019 storm,

hard to believe it’s been 6 years since then

2.6" in Van Ness -- 0.8" in the last hour. 25.7 degrees.

HRRR has 6-7" more from the first round.

Then the back-end comes in

love.  @stormtracker

dirty work being done for you.  No need to "eyeball" anything.  The forum got you

100% piggybacking off of @snjókoma  He can do the dirty work and those are my measurements.   He's literally right up the street

I'm doing hourly measurements in one area and 6 hourly in another for the official. Want to see any compaction differences since....I can lol 

Measurement incoming in 5-10 min

Steady Moderate to borderline heavy snow. Just puking small flakes at a break neck pace right now. Flake size is slowly increasing. Best FGEN will be in the area in 2-3 hrs, then "Katy bar the door..."
