I slept after 9 pm like a little biatch. :lol:
Looks like around 22 or so but I'll go measure soon. Powers out, gotta get the Genny going!
Looks like things shut off soon, maybe a little drizzle until then.

Just measured 25 cm. Feels like it was probably more before compaction, it's concrete out there. 6 more cm to 100 :think:

I measured 21 cm just now. There was probably a bit more an hour ago. The temp has since risen to 1.4C and it's mixing with rain.
