We've had over 90" of snow fall this year.



I just parked that truck there 3 days ago....its nice to have the snow on the back for extra traction!

We have received over 5 feet this year but it usually melts as fast as it comes.  We have over 20 inches on the ground right now though.  This snow has lasted a couple of weeks which is a record for this winter. ::)

Too Dang Much .. !!!!!!
I have no clue as to how much we have had total .... I do know I have it up to my waist and the snow banks on the road are six feet high and the have been cut down and pushed back three times this winter .
  The novelty of snow is very quickly wearing off .  :-\   Don't get me wrong I love snow ... only not quite this much .  :'(

Icey and I strolled outside with me still in my work cloths (my shorts and my good "fish shirt") (Its a button down with a fish print all over it), to take a few photos of the snow. Its pretty packed down round the house from me and da dogs, but theres a bunch of it.

Well down at the shop, I've got about 3 inches of daylight left in the windows. On my window on the north side of the house, it's just touching the lower sill, which is 4 feet. The banks around the drive are not real high because the blower throws it out into the lawn, but probably close to 3 feet there. We have had a lot of storms, but it keeps settling and we had a few rain events that dropped it to. But I bet up in New Denmark there is 6 feet in the woods. I worked on a lot up there in 2001 and the snow was as deep as the 6 foot tires on the skidder down in the softwoods. Had to stay away from there because the ground wouldn't even freeze up either. If we lost a skidder in there, it would still be there.  :D


Just south of me about 2 miles the ice starts (I had a slight crust here), all the trees are hanging with ice. The spruce are less coated, it seems to deflect off it. But pines are really weighed down bad. Power outage at the capital, 6500 without power down there. The highway has 1 inch of ice and packed snow. Was in the 20's today, so a lot melted off the roads.

We're about at the "no snow" line for New England.  Norton just 10 miles, and the ground is covered.

 Don't know total for the yr have to check wonderground. We have about 8" to a foot in the woods, seems every storm had rain at the end  >:( . But this last storm was 7" of snow then 2" of pellets then we got 4" of rain  :o . It is the worst I've ever had to plow that I can remember. I plow for the town with the 1 ton and half way thru had switch to the loader to push it. We worked 21 hrs straight, the last 4 where using the loader and backhoe to find storm drains and cut snow banks the get the water off the roadways. Ever seen blue snow? Thats a lot of water mixed in  ;) .

I think Caribou has had around 120" of snow so far, and snow depth, as of today, is 3 feet.

CHUTE DE NEIGE (SNOW FALL)

24h : 14-19 cm     48h : 22-30 cm      7 jours(days) : 43-54 cm     Saison (season): 371-432 cm
        (5.5"-7.5")         (8.66"- 11.8")                 (1'5"-1'9")                          (12'2"-14'2")


This is from Mont Sutton , wich I look at the back side from the dinning room .
That gives me a 12 to 14 feet of total accumulation .... I am ok with that , It could stop now and I would be ok with that too. Really , I would .

 I was surprised at first at the numbers myself here  :o  I can see the mountain from where we eat breakfast from wich I got the amount from, so the numbers for me are quite realistic . Looking at the snowbanks I have not seen them so high in a long time .
  I don't know how much there is on the ground , I guess I could mesure the legs on the quarter horse here ... he bottoms out and his belly drags in the snow  ::) :-\ He needs a couple of pairs of stilts , the belgium is wiser ... she stayes out of the deep snow .
