We had 9 inches from that storm, at Black Cat. The rain event turned out to be very light, after 1.5 inches of snow, and freezing rain. So the snow depth here is 28 inches, down from its season high of 29 inches a couple days ago. It has an icy crust on it now, which resists the sun much better than pure snow.
Those looking for the snowfall reports from this end of the lake -- the National Weather Service has changed the way they list the locations. They used to list this station as "Black Cat Island," but changed all locations to mileage from town centers. So a town only gets listed if the snowfall report was actually taken in the center of town. They listed this station as "4 S Moultonborough" meaning 4 miles south of town, until I told them it's actually closer to Center Harbor's center. If you see "3 SE Center Harbor," that would be Black Cat Island.
The Weather Channel scrolls these reports across the bottom of the screen, and they don't list the mileages from towns. Instead, they'll just say "Near Center Harbor."
