7cm new snow, with 22 cm on the ground in total. Must have lost 3 cm today with the snow compressing.

I really hope schools are closed tomorrow. I live on a pretty major route and it doesn't look like a single plow has been through all night.

Blizzard like outside. Very windy... and cold I'm sure as well. Would hate to be outside dammmm.
Cant see how many cms but I would say 5 to 6.
Small flakes but super high intensity rates. I would call it heavy snow. :clap: :clap:
Let's hope this April brings some ~24c sunny days. Yesssss :hearteyes: :hearteyes:
