Snow accumulation estimates

I've been watching/tracking this storm for days like most of you.

As of this morning, I think it's weakening, so...

 

 

My guess is 15"

Seems like they always underestimate for here - they say it'll be 65, it's 70, they say it'll drizzle, it downpours, they say it'll snow 20-28", it'll snow 28"-36". So, my guess is 32" with wind gusts of up to 35 mph pushing it into drifts of over 4'.

So far I very comfortable with my forecast.

This snow is doing exactly what I had suspected it would do once it started.

 

Since it started on the earlier side of when they predicted,

it's moving faster than expected

the temp has not dropped as fast as first expected

if the wind starts coming from the west, as I expect, I just might nail it.

 

 

Now, if I nail it, and I fully expect to be very close or dead on, I will drink several glasses of good scotch on the rocks.

Can anyone say non-committal?:biggrin: :laugh:

I was thinking of bumping the high estimate up, just to be sure.

Same idea here. If I get it right, we're cracking a decent bottle of red and having a fire.

I imagine you'll drink several glasses of good scotch if you get it dead wrong too.

I wish the basement is done, I miss having a fireplace. I had one in S. California growing up for pete's sake. Nothing like the ambiance of a fire, even if you don't need the heat!

I wish I could find my 30ft. tow strap. I know I could use it to help pull some people out. I think someone stole it from the back of my truck though :( its been there for a few years now. I think I used it 2x in N. Dakota in 5 years - and 10x here in one. People are a little more adept at driving in the stuff up there even when there is tons of snow.
