I was home all day, deciding that I didn't want to drive 350 miles to deliver car parts, and the snow never quit all day with more intensity sometimes than at other times. The total snow depth is averaged over several spots in my yard, most of which were just over 8". I will try to get a core reading from the total snow now.
