I mean if you are going to get April snow, go biggly.

22" at our house. Sucked as I had to break the glass on the back garage door since I locked myself out while setting up the genny.

The sad thing is I remember’66 shoveling the sidewalk in front of my dad’s pharmacy while home from college on break.  In those days, men in their 40s and 50s were dropping from heart attacks left and right so we never let dad shovel.

My 47-y.o. desk-job (mostly) dad didn't get to do much shoveling, either.
I went hunting for squirrel and/or partridge (got neither) on 12/24 and learned a couple of things. 
1.  345kv wires are hot, both ways.  It was light snow when I got to the powerlines about 2 miles SW from home, and could hear the little pops as flakes were instantly vaporized.
2.  Thundersnow!  I was about halfway home in heavy snow when I heard a loud boom.  Since I 'knew' that it can't thunder in snow, I wondered if it was a sonic boom (as if a jet would be flying around in a powerful storm).  The 2nd boom, with a bit of echo despite all the snowflakes, was obvious.  Then my thought was, "This is going to be some storm!"  (15", deepest pack on Christmas until we moved to Fort Kent.)

You're better off wearing a sign that says, "kick me"

Do you wish you still lived near Little Rock @H2Otown_WX

I mean, more exciting than here and no yuppies. Pretty much a win-win in my book.

Magnificent day. 

Also a reminder that it could be worse (or better)... 9 years ago today (I think)

Good dichotomy in the landscape this time of year.  Winter and spring today.  Riding chairlifts to plenty of snow on the hill, while enjoying warmth and late daylight dog walks in the valley.

I’m in Binghamton, NY. Trees have that reddish bud look. I guess I don’t think they were that far ahead of us down here.
