Accumulation has slacked off. Up to 23 cm.
It's called clown range for a reason.

Yup, intensity just picked up again IMBY. Which is good. I need another few cm to get over 10 inches, than I can report a double-digit snowfall in the AF.

That 12Z Euro run went absolutely nuts. A 4-5 day AR with some intense baroclinicity. Looks like a precursor to a cold wave though.

Use my numbers, I'm already at 10". They'll never know LOL.

Also I'm surprised I only have 0.5 cm of compacting, I was expecting more because of lower ratios. My total is 25.5 but my depth is 25.0
