Wow what an impressive storm this was! We ended up with about 8" total.

Started out as snow with the WAAW. Picked up about 3" from that. Then as expected went over to a messy mixture of sleet/freezing rain/rain for about 8hrs before going back over to snow. Picked up another 5" after the transition.

The surface low passed about 50 miles to the east. The pressure bottomed out at 980mb around 2 or 3am. I'm pretty sure that's the lowest pressure I've observed here.

Yep, have to eat my earlier words here. We ended up with unofficially 10 inches at our house. Most of that fell on Tuesday afternoon and evening.
