Pretty disappointed with 6.5 inches at the groomer garage, wife thought about that amount at our house in the valley, but she isn't going out to measure as it's windy and she's said she's only reading a book by the fire today. Nice dense snow though, rocks finally covered on trails and good liquid pack, just need to stack another 2 feet by mid March hopefully to get us to mid April snowmobiling.

blowing and drifting as bad as I remember for several years at least.  We have 1200 feet of driveway going up and across on open hay field.  Planted 2 dozen maples in 2019 as an eventual snow fence, but we are a few years away from a real benefit.   This is the kind of day when we snowblow right before we need to go somewhere because it will be covered up and drifted within an hour.  I'm guessing we had a total of 9 or maybe 9.5 when it ended last night.

Had about 3" in that last pulse of heavy snow after I cleaned up last night.  Another cleanout today, including pushing back the banks which are now super-sized.  Gray forecast was a good one after all, ended up with 8.5" total in three separate phases:  3" overnight saturday; 2.5" from light snow and occasional heavier sleet showers during the day Sunday; and 3" from the "backlash" band between 9-midnite (thanks Schwoegler...)

20" OTG.  Too bad the coastal is a whiff later this week, would have been fun to get a foot+ to top off the deep winter vibes...

Breezy this morning but no high winds yet. We did record a 36.5mph gust at about 1:45am which is really solid for here. 
Haven’t attempted to plow yet but will soon. Left everything untouched assuming we’d get lots of ZR but thankfully that didn’t happen. 

Ended with about 9” total.

I have never seen so much ice on everything. Bags of salt did nothing for driveway. Chunks of ice crashing off the trees . Today should be wild 

Agree completely. Ice everywhere and a flash freeze, frozen puddles and road streams stopped in place. I’ve never seen it more icy.

not sure what County got but 20" seems unlikely

Thanks, 4th season.  It's the best. 

Is the CF essentially marine air on an east wind slamming into an artic airmass?

Exactly what it is. So I wasn’t actively watching what was happening there, but I know the thermal gradient was right near the coast. I’m guessing that helped boost your totals a tad.
