Well this snow overachieved - was thinking the heaviest band would be 2-4 with pockets of 3-5".  But wow - some places ended up with 8-10 inches. 

The next system will approach on Wednesday - thinking light snow is possible 1-3".  Depending on the storm track.  I will need to focus on that event tonight.


Stay tuned!
