*********
It appears this will be our largest snowfall of the winter. I'm not certain, but I don't believe there will be a lot of moisture with this system. The depth of the snow will come from the cold temperatures which will make the liquid to snow ratio very high.

Speaking of temperatures, the low this morning hit 4 below zero. This was the coldest temperature so far this winter. It's already at 1 below zero as I type this and skies are clear. We'll see if we can top this morning's low.
