And .... the next number is: 20

as a side note. Will try to stay on top of posting numbers in the late morning/early evening ET ... but bear with me. Forecast says we may receive up to 17 inches of lake effect snow tonight through tomorrow. Projected wind direction doesn't really support this in my mind .... but I could be wrong!

Well, snow was a bust. As I suspected ... the winds kept the snow along the lake shore of Lake Erie. I am located about 35 miles inland. However, around 4 this morning the winds shifted to the west. That pushed the lake effect snow in our direction. By 5:30 AM, we got around 3". By the time the lake effect bands settled down and started to break up, our total was between 6 and 7 inches. Not enough for me to even break out the snow blower!! So, kept up with it with my trusty shovels.

Glad the snow was manageable! We've had very little snow this year here in Minneapolis (despite having the 2nd snowiest Halloween on record -- but this was nothing compared to the Halloween Blizzard of 1991, which was incredible). But yeah, if you have some interruptions due to helping neighbors and family get their vehicles unstuck, clearing walk-ways, etc., I don't think anyone here would complain. Guessing you still have some on the ground? We're almost snow-free here at the moment...
