Winter 2012-2013 was a good year here. Received 67" of snow that year. That's what I measured. I'm sure the total was probably a bit higher, but I work down below, so I'm not home all the time.
We cannot plant a fork in anything. Mother nature will do whatever she plans to do. We can cry, bitch, scream at the sky, drive an electric car, put a windmill on top of our house, etc, etc.. It's all meaningless.
