Nice your elevated area 9km's east of the pond always does well East Whack man. I enjoy your winter photos the last 3 winters now. l'd have to check the last 2 winter's but you usually have at least 10cm's more than the valley floor during heavy events.

Yes we have had a good spell of 30 plus cms on the ground at least once for the past 3 winters that we have lived here. I’ve lived in the wack my whole life and can see a huge difference being on the hillside. The biggest reason is when the outflow hits the valley we usually don’t see much wind so the snow really piles up.

Gotta appease the pineapple gods by upholding my end of the deal or else there will be no at all

I am the sacrifice for the rest of you. It's just for one month, anyway.

we thank you for your service
Olaf's will be built in your honour

These are the day's following a big weather event that's no fun.
It's over the Arctic air has retreated the melt is on there's no big weather event on the horizon at the moment.
Best time to focus on something else to keep from getting to down. IMO
