new snowfall .1″. This was a sharp cutoff of a narrow little band. This site sat right at the northern edge. Things were much whiter a half mile south

Snowfall season to date 73.1″ (perhaps the final tally on a dismal season but one that performed late.

That was the result of this –

That little narrow band came across and didnt cover a wide area, it did put down coatings on the fringes to what appeared to be a half inch. Near and south of Cranesville
