Real snow...

OK, a beautiful day in the neighborhood for real.

The sun is starting to break through the clouds as the snow moves out over the ocean; in my capacity as an official weather spotter I called in a 5 inch snowfall, finished at about 6:50 am, with calm conditions extending until 7:47 when the wind began to gust; now gusts are blowing the snow from trees and field making it harder to see than when it was coming from the sky.

Breakfast -- scrapple and waffles! -- is being served.

We use the meter-stick at multiple flat spots somewhat away from the house method. I only call our snow depth in when I have confidence that we haven't been overly affected by winds. I keep planning to get a complete weather station, but the publishing business hasn't permitted that as yet.
