I never heard an official accumulation total here in Charlottesville but I'd put it somewhere around 16" +/- 3". The worst thing about it was that it was coming down pretty heavy on Friday, then it was sleeting Friday night which packed it all down then snowed on top of that all day Saturday. If it weren't for the sleet, it would've been a much higher total I think. Shoveling that wet stuff is a bitch though.
I really really enjoy driving around in this stuff though. The STi with snow tires has been a complete beast getting around. I have only had one issue which was at the top of our street. The snow plows made a nice snow/ice bank at the top so I got stuck because I just don't have the ground clearance with my car. Aside from that, I've been driving around town in all sorts of nasty ice, slush and snow without any issues.
