Another complete miss in the forecast for the storm yesterday. Supposed to get 3-5" between 1AM and 3PM. That was even the forecast DURING the storm - it never changed. Wound up raining until like 4:30AM before finally cooling off enough that it turned to snow.
Once it started to snow it came down heavy and steady until finally tapering off around 5PM. The storm ended up dumping a almost a foot of wet, heavy, concrete like stuff. Cleanup was miserable. Standing water underneath made it hard enough to remove but then add in how the snow itself was so heavy and wet that the snow blower just pushed it like a plow which made it a bear to deal with. Easily took 3X's+ longer to clean up than it should for the amount we had.
Thank god it wasn't a storm with a lot of wind or trees would have come down everywhere with all of that heavy snow stuck to them. Luckily we didn't lose power.
As I have said in other recent weather posts; if you want to know the weather look out the window because the forecast is never right it seems.
