23 cm here...

Like that's big for sea level :thumbup:

Seems 15-30 cm was the right call

B as well. Could be an A if we get one more cold wave which I suspect is on the table next month.

30 is in reach!

Eagerly awaiting to see how much has fallen since 7am -- seems like some of you guys think 30cm might be in reach?
It seems like many places are already at around 24 cm, with at least 1-2 hours of moderate snow remaining (depending on location), plus whatever flurries develop in the wake of the front. I think the valley has best shot at 30 cm, but could happen in eastern suburbs as well.

Well I gotta tell you it continues to blow me away how fickle our region is on precip totals, especially during snowstorms.

Very happy for everyone seeing these INSANE totals but I’d be remised if I didn’t say I’m slightly disappointed with the ~5cm we got so far here in Horseshoe Bay :?

Still beautiful nonetheless

honestly I was at 24.0 at 10 AM so I suspect I'm nearing 26 now, and if this holds on for another hour I could actually crack 30 again IMBY
