Now I'm hungry.

I just cleared my car off and there’s maybe 3”.  Snow is coming down at about 1/2” an hour max at this rate there should be about 8” for opening. Perfect.

3.5-4 here. Some of the lightest snow possible for PA

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

4-5% powder..the 20:1 liquid to snow ratios are why many areas will see 20+ inches of snow and even some lollipops of 30”+

Correct. Throw it out? I already ate it.

Boner city toast on the jacket.

Still dumping. Hard to tell how much because the wind has picked up significantly

A township truck came through last night around 9. Dropped cinders in 4” of snow.  No plow even on the truck. Nothing since 🤦‍♂️
