I would call todays snow normal, 10:1 ratio snow. This was from a storm system and not lake effect snow. The Mid morning /afternoon snow that fell was more lake effect since the storm center had passed. So based on a 10:1 ratio, I would say it weights 6.24 lbs/ cubic foot. This stuff will melt slower than the lake effect snow which is just fluff.

40 degrees, and all the snow from the last 2 storms is almost gone. Royal Flush looked 40% brown yesterday. Snow eating fog was out in force. Temps falling after noon and tonight down to 6 degrees. Sure hope they can light up every snow gun they own, but we'll probably see spot guns and a trail or 2.
