Yup, it settled quite a bit clint... maybe from the balmy -18.8 recorded in orwell this morning :) keep warm folks...

One of the weather guys around here had a chart up Sunday night.  The colder it is the more snow out of the same amount of water.  So the old 1" of rain yields 10" of snow is true at just below freezing, but at 5°F the same inch of rain makes 22" of snow.  The only consolation when you are shoveling however is that you move a lot more! A Lb of feathers weighs the same as a lb of lead.  Good luck with it guys, our 20+" failed to materialize, fine with me when it comes to driving into the workplace.

Lucky, i like the lead vs feathers analogy... back in college i took a meteorology course and the professor who was a meteorologist claimed that there is no accurate comparison with snow vs rain due to warmer air holding more moisture and cold air holding less... kinda makes sense as a 1 inch rain storm in the summer when its 80 degrees would be incomparable once placed in a sub freezing climate due to lower dew point and relative humidity...although it would be the same amount of moisture, in theory it would be more wide spread and not nearly as dense due to the drier air...he engraved it in our heads that there was no comparison... he often talked about lake effect as well...

Yep, this is more like it.   8:30 sunshine  and 5 below.
