    Well, when I woke up Friday morning we probably had about 8 inches. By the time I got back that afternoon after lunch, maybe 10. By dinner time I think we had sunk down to about 6. So by the end of it, about 6 inches. When I was grooming some spots had more and some had less. The snow is still good today but was a little hard, we did get a dusting on top of that today though, so it could be good now.

    Getting another storm next week though, going to hit up Berkshire East with the FIL and wife Thursday I think. I want to get at least one more good day in before the season ends.

    Wow! Thought you would have gotten more.
    I see that next one coming. Little far out for amounts right now, but it looks like we will get something. As long as the base stays, there may be some good days left.

    Yeah, that extra overnight stuff they promised Friday never happened, it sputtered out before dinner and never picked back up again.

    Was looking at snow fall totals for the Northeast, some places in NY show nearly 3 feet. :eek:
    Emailed my brother who is near the spot to see what he got.

    It was crazy, I drove all over the county that day and it went from rain to a foot of snow from one valley to the next. The weather has been all over the place this winter, but this storm I think was the most extreme example.

    About 4-5" total then lots melted already. Probably about 1-2" on the ground here now. It is actually snowing right now though.

    Any one have any interest in an Aux fuse box?

    I am thinking of following the DIY with a bussman, seems like one of the best setup out there, with out jumping to the spod level, but the money to make one is crazy depending on the tools and exact setup. I have found a few other options that I'll keep exploring, if someone(s) interested let me know.

    It’s an Oklahoma Joe 3 in 1 so it has a gas and charcoal then a firebox into the charcoal side. It was 359 at Lowe’s on sale from 429 I believe. Then paid a little extra for delivery. Pretty sturdy. About 250lbs

    Been looking into these recently as well.

    Blue Sea is definitely the less expensive way... but the Bussmann boxes look really clean. Pelfrey does some mounts, but I kinda want to fab my own that has a lower brace too.
