Yeah they spelled it wrong. Should be Bethlum. 
 

Bethle-ham does make me hungry, though.

Anyone  riding this evening?

Luckily I have a lot of fire wood for this winter, just need to rent a splitter for the day cause I’m not doing it by hand

Looks like the storm has some silly name like Gayla or something. Does anyone actually remember their silly names for past snowstorms, like they do for hurricanes (e.g. Katrina)?

To me it's the blizzard of 2020.

Naming snow storms is just a marketing thing that the Weather Channel thought up. Next they'll be naming rain storms, fog, heat waves, cold spells, and earthquakes.

27.6 inches. Bet on it. It'll be a white Christmas.

Snowing good here right now. Final guesses are being tabulated. 

[Kyle]

Coming down real hard now in southern chesco 

[toast21602]

The first flakes have fallen, it is picking up rapidly, and the final accumulation guesses are in for storm totals for my backyard snowfall. Winner gets two (!!) 16oz beers from my fridge and courtesy of @Mixilplix, it appears he will also contribute some beers as well.

In between bread baking, diner making, shoveling, and some occasional work, I'll be checking in on storm totals. 

Winner will be determined at the first post-storm measurement.

Your generosity is much appreciated!

[PSUFrankenstein]

I'll throw in two beers of the winner's choice as well (if I'm not the winner)

Then again, you guys are always welcome to get a beer from my cooler anyway, but at least you'll feel like you won something.

I just went to the UPS store and only one customer and then got a few slices of pizza..the roads and stores are absolutely deserted and it’s only snowed like an inch. Amazing.

You know it's 2020 when the weather channel cuts into coverage of the biggest noreaster in years for a tornado warning in God damn tampa

[Kyle]

Chesco update. Probably creeping up on 2”. Light fluffy fairy dust snow. My dog (who’s never seen snow before and from South Carolina) loves it.

Windy here too. Of my 3 test locations, it looks like the back deck is the most sheltered based on the direction of the wind. It seems like my measurements will be taken there.
