Haha took me almost 2 hours to shovel this morning. We had 2-3" on the ground before the weekend storm that dropped 6-8" and now this storm which puts us at 16" on the ground. 

Glad you got a snowpack again after the melting you guys experienced early Feb. 

What is DTW's seasonal average? YYZ is at 37" for the season now. 

 

Thanks. DTW is at 19.8" so far. Avg for entire season is 41" (longterm) to 45" (current 30 year normals).

 

This winter is unlike any we've seen in a long time. I found a few in the 1940s & 1960s similar. It's dominated by cold and dry and despite snowfall being below avg, there's been some presence of snow on the ground pretty much since New Year's (except for a dew days) but it's not yet reached 5" deep. Even late Nov to just before Christmas had many days of T-1" on the ground.

Im at 24.4" and have around 10-11" snow depth. Hamilton and Toronto have normally averaged close to the same but last few winters Torontos been winning by a lot

~4" depth here but should have more those weekend. Then I go to the U.P. next week so I'll be enjoying plenty of snow.

You guys are having an awesome winter for snowpack in the thumb! When's the last time you had that much on the ground?

I believe it was Feb. 2021. We’ve only had about 34 inches for the season so it really shows the staying power the snow pack has had this winter. There’s people talking about how there’s been so much snow this winter when the reality is it’s just been cold enough here to not fully melt it with the exception of what fell at the very beginning of December and the brief torch at the end of December.

6.5" Up here. 13" since Saturday. Will assess depth after work unfortunately it will be dark by then. 

This low-moisture stuff settles quickly. But, deeper we go. Just under 15" in a sheltered spot, 12-13" where the wind gets at it. Not quite as deep as last January but getting closer.
