It is and I just went out and measured an even 3 inches. I didn't know how it was going to go last night but a nice band moved overhead around 11pm. I may squeeze another inch out, as this heavy band just got here and extends back to KC.
Wow look at that Pacific pattern building in! I'm going to have to find a reason for why there has been so much +PDO configuration this Winter. I was thinking earlier in the year it had something to do with a NAO decadal trend change, as we had 9 +NAO bouts, after a total of 3 in the last 4 years before this year.
@OKwx2k4, I was watching the radar last night and it appeared you got hit pretty good? This has to be one of the best snowstorms you've had in quite a while, no?
