They’re saying we got 6 inches accumulation, which matched my driveway. Could have been more, but I’d guess a fair amount must have melted early on. Last night things were quite sloppy; was the kind of snow we usually get in late March, not early February.
Amazingly, the city has done a pretty good job of clearing the major streets. Here’s yesterday’s intersection- 24 hours later.
Yes, that’s sunshine.
Meanwhile, the fun continues to the east. The numbers are additional accumulations predicted for today.
Oh, and the NWS has us slated for another 4 inches or so (40% probability) on Monday.
Everybody’s telling weather stories over at Tam’s.

Dr. Weevil:
If FNMA is pronounced ‘Fannie Mae’ and FHLMC is pronounced ‘Freddie Mac’, shouldn’t IPCC be pronounced ‘Ipecac’? Reading about the IPCC and its chairman has much the same effect on me as drinking syrup of ipecac.Spotted by C.G.Hill (who also supplied the links). He sez (no doubt while ducking and running), “Well, somebody had to bring it up.”

The Hill quotes the President, speaking to Senate Democrats:
“We’ve got to make sure that our party understands that, like it or not, we have to have a financial system that is healthy and functioning...”Via Glenn Reynolds, who wonders, “Who wouldn’t like a ‘healthy and functioning’ financial system?”
TelePrompter must have been off.
