Let's see, 1" of new snow here so far, temp is 12, snow will turn to sleet later, then maybe freezing rain, then snow. How do those new snow measurement rules work again? Never mind -- too complicated. LOL.

robbbs - it's easy.  just multiply by 5 divide by 2 carry the 1 take the square root and raise to the 4th power.  then just clear off your board and subtract the wind speed from your temp and you have your total.  do that each hour and get back to us when you're done :)

Satellite, thanks. I knew I'd find a way to get to that 40" of snow for the season.
