We like our snow and ice with the better winter sun angle basically. I also could have added any snow I can get in fall particularly around Thanksgiving, you get geared up for winter since frost so the first event even if the ground is still too warm is good. Had all systems go with close to 1" before Thanksgiving last November then...
It seems like nature has to balance things out to get to near average with the current decade 2011-2020 running significantly above normal for snowfall.
