Lots of snow today.
Lots of wind last night, too, so for the first time this season I'm a little hesitant about new snow depth. My house was closed in by drifts; my spot where I check snow depths is more sheltered from the worst winds, but even there two different points gave slightly different results (but close), so I taking the lesser of the two. Which is still 83cm.
The snow is still coming down hard, and the crews are still trying to get everything passable. I know I started at 6am, and just finished around 9:30 (snowthrowing and running a loader and shoveling until typing is a pain....). Keeps us honest.
