Hoping for 10-15 cm this weekend. Anything more would be impressive.
Even 10-15 cm is impressive for this time of year in my opinion. Anything more than that is really impressive. :thumbup: :flakey:

My high today was 0.1C with a low of -7.8C. Currently -0.3C with a dew point of -15C.

I’ve been saying for a few days that if the models all stuck to a super-snowy outlook that I’d start getting excited Friday afternoon. That does it, I’m aboard the snow train! It’s coming.

Not to mention SUV’s in ditches because hey, four-wheel drive must mean they have some sort of special stopping ability, too, right?

No. Three more. At least.

And a record-breaking last measurable snow on April 24th.

And a slushfall on May 3rd.
