Snowfall amounts. Bittinger 2nw Valley : 2.8″, 92.6″ on the season.  This was a difficult snow to measure.  As mentioned before, this site is protected and minimally affected by wind. This event, no areas immune to wind. I did a on the board measurement. Which I am pretty sure may had some blow off but not on. Did several nearby on the ground checks, similar average. High ground literally had nothing on the ground to small drifts. There was no air left in the snow for sure.

Canaan Heights. 6.8″ total with the event. 107.8″ on the season

Wind gust ramped up to 65mph last night on northern Cabin before the anemometer froze up. Same for some other sites. Very well within reason that 70-80mph gust occured.
