About 27cm. Would of hit 30 if not for the ice pellets that kicked in around 1am.

Nice score and lol...Bobcat. Now that is how you push massive snows outa the way fast :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:

Why is there no snow on the trees? Winds?
Looking forward to our first 3 day stretch of sun and 20c++ 8-)

Weird to see all of the high snow totals. I only measured 8 cm new on the patio this morning. Hard to find a good place to measure, though. First time this winter I've really felt left out.

I woke up at 4 am to check and it had already stopped then. It didn't look like anymore accumulated from then up to 7 am when I measured. :think:

Very minimal freezing rain as well. Just a light glaze like frost on the side of my car windows.

Something weird. I have 0 to 24 cm due to wind. But measuring in protected areas I have an average of 15.5. Compacted a bit as there is 2mm of ice on top.

I was hoping to get to 100cm but not even close.

Yeah, I noticed the same. I wonder if I measured in a bad area. Wind really makes it impossible to measure.

I found a section of pavement away from building and somewhat protected from wind.

Me too! One more round of winter late Jan and early Feb, hopefully with cold starry nights this time. Then bring on the +12's and +16's by late Feb!!!!! :dancepine: :dancepine:

Storm is going to be chasing me for mentioning +12C.
