Yeah that seems really dumb to me. You know how much snow compacts in 24 hours? I prefer at least every 12, 6 might be a little too much but I measured 56" and have 43" on the ground. Seems about right to me with compaction.
I don't know how any of the licensing stuff works. I'm just trying to document it as best I can. I love looking back at memorable events. Any recommendations?
