    It's a pretty biggie, this one isn't an all timer for the ages, but I like watching snow blow sideways in 40 mph wind.

    4 " right now, another 4" give or take is the latest word.
    We'll get about 8" when it's all done.

    Funny thing, drive half hour or so north to Madison you'll see over a foot.
    Windy AF though.

    A big hype of nothing. WE used to get buried every winter in MN where I grew up in the 70's and never said a peep.

    34.72” is most on record for Tracy
    By Seth Schmidt

    https://headlightherald.com/2019/02/27/snowiest-february/

    Congratulations, hearty Tracy area people. February snowfall totals in Tracy are a modern-day record.
    Through Tuesday morning, 34.72” of snow had been logged in Tracy during the month of February. The nearly three-feet of February snow in Tracy is greater than the new 31.6” February snowfall record that has been set at the Southwest Outreach and Research Station at Lamberton. The previous snowiest February on record for the University of Minnesota research site, set in 1962, was 22.5.” The February snowfall record could grow, since Thursday is the last day of the month.

    Actually global warming has nothing to do with air temperature. The reason you are getting 3 feet of snow with this storm is the ocean temperature is warmer due to global warming so the arctic air is clashing with increased moisture from ocean evaporation producing more snow.

    Most trumptards think global warming means summer all year long.

    Yeah, well they blamed the New England blizzard of 1978 aka The White Hurricane on global cooling.

    Global cooling was spoon fed to the public in the 1970's as one of the ways the world would come to an end. Another Ice Age was just around the corner.

    Imagine, being fed a narrative that wasn't true but based on science

    This is the stupidest, least scientific comment I've read on SBR in I don't know how long. You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.

    Long story, but I had a MRI in the Martinos Center (I'm fine).

    I love the marina area at the end of (I think) 13th St. Those big yachts are legit.

    There's like 6" in my backyard, but area right around me (within 8 miles or less) report totals more than double that.
    It happens, narrow snow bands and such, but I was wondering "who measures this stuff"

    A lot of times the weathermen get excited and overestimate the total amounts. It happens with inexperienced crews who can't interpret data correctly.

    Not the case this time.
    There were six narrow bands of snow.
    One band had 6 inches, but 20 miles or so east you saw 14 inches, and so forth.
