Actually, I just went out and measured 5 new inches from today's storm, not three as stated previously. It's been a boring snow, though.

Snowed for a bit this afternoon, no accumuation though. Had an inch the other day.

I had to drive up to Lincoln yesterday, alot of wind and blowing snow on the pass - Snow Devils blowing snow off the trees. Got stuck briefly in a snow drift in Lincoln. Had to walk part of the way through drifts to get to the house where the computer I was working on was at.

Awesome! We don't have that much snow here though. But my car did get buried with snow - by a ****ing snowplow plowing away snow that fell a week ago. That was stupid.

WOW!!! Finished with 10 inches on the dot. So much for the 1 inch forecast from the NWS.

As for this weekend's storm... winter storm warning with 4-8 inches expected. And wind chills ranging from -10 to -25. Bringing our total snow depth to nearly two feet. This is what winter is all about

Well, we had some flurries last night. That's all.

Snow and blowing snow warning in effect as of a half-hour ago. But it's only partly cloudy out with nothing on the radar.

Yes, I'm getting nervous about this too. Clouds are thickening and cielings are lowering, but it's bad when the start-time keeps getting pushed back....

Wow, I just got OWNED thoroughly by a snow-covered pothole/ditch thing. Went to park my car and the front right wheel got stuck in a ditch I needed a push to get me out. That was embarassing to the max.

Radar is looking MUCH better now (for what it's worth - stupid mountains blocking the radar beam). Keep the faith

The snow has finally begun. *leans back in his chair to watch*

Winter Storm Warning back in effect, expecting 4 - 8 inches here in the valley by one forcast, 3 -7 by another, and 8 - 16 by yet another.

Take you're pick.

Cold is coming, but not as cold as they were saying. Talking about 10 below or so, and back to the mid-20's by Wednesday.
