These are, without a doubt, the biggest snowflakes I have ever seen, and only one storm comes even close (a lake enhanced band when I lived in Ohio). It's accumulating so fast which is insane for a temp in the mid-30s.
It definitely looks cool on the ground. It compacted quite a bit though, so it looks nothing close to 15"
The fact that this was a long-duration event made it pretty nonchalant feeling. There weren't really any heavy rates.
Official total from AXN: 15.5".
From eyeballing I'd say about a foot on the ground. SUPER beneficial, especially with no recent significant precip and none in sight.
Yeah I'm jealous of you guys out east. This was never gonna be a high-rate snowfall out here, we were just gonna get foot plus totals from 2 straight days of light to moderate snowfall. Glad some people are seeing cool stuff from this.
School closures starting to trickle in here. Can continue to hope that my work closes tomorrow, but it usually takes something catastrophic for the government to shut down.
