What kind of depth were there in Feb '15? We all know we were fringed on the biggies, but im sure it was still some deep winter.

I can't remember but I am sure it was not as deep as it is now.

I can't really stick a ruler in the ground right now because the bottom 3'-4" that has stuck around since the beginning of December is so rock hard it would snap the yardstick lol.  I think we have somewhere around 18" - 22" before any settling today.

Lol. I have a 6" pure glacier at the bottom of mine too, complete granite. I am measuring and just adding 5"(taking off an inch for glacier settling..ha)

Foothills CAD FTW - death to upslope but great for pack, especially in the woods.  I've had 11"+ LE since Dec 1, and all but 1-1.5" is still on the ground.  The 2" sleetbomb in late Jan left a crust I can walk on - made roof shoveling dicey Saturday.  However, somebody in eastern Maine must be ahead by now, or will be when this event is done.

Is that a single stage snow thrower?  That won't do in snow country.  You need to up your snowblower game!

No it's a 2-stage, but no match for a 5' drift. We have a snowplow (driveway is 1/3 mile), but I need to keep a path to the downstairs apartment clear, since we rent it out. The issue is the entire system - as I've discovered, the front of the house (where the snow stake is) is nicely scoured by wind, so THAT is where the path should be. We'll do some landscaping this summer and make an actual driveway to the back door, so that we can use the plow. The area behind the house is just too prone to drifting. 

 

Went for a walk in the woods, found a stake that I had placed in the summer - the snow is just about 3' deep in the woods. Keeps snowing moderately but it's incredibly fluffy ,so doesn't really add much in depth

Still snowing lightly with a fresh few tenths in the past hour or two.  This is pure cotton candy at this point.

Town actually looks as good as it has since 2010-11 winter.  I had 23" for a depth this afternoon...that'll settle out though a bit.

This storm felt like 13-15:1 ratios...like 0.8-0.9" liquid for 13".  Mountain probably had 1.1" or so, makes sense based on what models were showing for QPF. 

I think models did well with QPF, we just got an extra boost from good snow growth in that banding last evening.
