Really? Wow, wave #1 was pretty sad. Maybe 45 minutes of good snowfall, an hour more of super light, and that's it. 2-3 cm.

We get dump trucks with plows on the front and salt/sanders in the back and graders. Being a small community, with a lot of roads, they use everything they have.

I'll watch tomorrow for the monster snow drift pic...assuming it hasn't vanished in the sw winds and rains. :lol: :lol:

Awesome! Oh I’m sure it won’t be gone :D

If I can exceed 5 cm by morning that qualifies as a score by modern standards. :lol:
I did say 2-10cm. :thumbup:

Cant say the ECMWF isnt trying...Cold remains up North on our side of the globe which means the potential is there.
