Yeah I remember measuring 18cm right before the heaviest spell of snow we had all day. It stalled over us and then just kept intensifying... truly incredible. As a one off day for snow, that was probably the best I can remember in my lifetime (Only 30 years old though!) - December 2010 was king for cold and longevity but unless I have a poor memory, I don't recall any days in particular that matched Feb 1st 2019 for snow totals.
Enjoyable model thread viewing tonight too. I don't pretend to understand most of it, but it seems all the ingredients are there for something memorable around the corner. It's been nearly 2 years and I need my fix.
