We are in the 8-12 range. Right now temps are low 20's at best, yet they say we will get a mix of rain and snow at times, so we will have the nice heavy stuff.
A few weeks ago, when we were out and about on a spring like Sunday afternoon, going for a drive so I could take some photos, I really hoped spring would arrive early. Guess not!

Is this nasty stuff the balancing out of the decent winter you had? At least from here I thought you guys had a pretty nice winter.

It hasn't been that bad of a winter Patty. Nothing like 2015. But by March we've had enough of winter even if winter was relatively mild People are cranky today. This stuff gets in the way of our routines. I'm sure the Y will be closed by tomorrow afternoon. That makes me cranky

The +1's mother was supposed to go to her grocery store this morning. I hope there was something to buy. She is in the bullseye - 18" or so. Awful...on the other hand, we seem to have been downgraded again to no more than 6".

I will admit to a certain amusement at folks interviewed on the weather.
"oh come on it's ok to get a storm like this in January but March? Really?? it's not fair"
makes we wonder how they'll feel in late April when we get one. Most of March is still technically winter.

Kind of a let down for now.... I don't mind snow, and a storm once in a while isn't too bad.
Started snowing about midnight - maybe 3-4 inches over night. Woke up to howling winds, sleet and freezing rain. That sucks. I'd rather have a foot of snow, even more than this mixed bag of crap.
