Lots up on the ski hills but only one small dump at our place earlier this winter. High is 11C/51F today.
We don't have to shovel what is coming down :raindrop: :umbrella-guy: today.

North center of Ohio had about 1/4 of what we would NORMALLY get but in last 3 years that has been about typical one maybe good snowfall per year has been it. We are not down much in moisture though as we had a lot of rain on these warmer than normal days.

I would have to look at official records myself but seat of pants says I only shoveled maybe 6" total with 3 or 4 non shoveling amounts for maybe 10~12" total for the year. Been as high as 140 something inches in the past years if I'm not mistaken. the Snow Belt has had a few bangers though.
here is Cleveland snow fall totals last 4 years

We are about a foot short of normal, here. Had two major melts where we normally only get one in January. I always say, don't sell March short. I've seen some dandy storms in March.

That is pretty stinking cool! If y'all book it in August you might get a better price per bushel. ;)

I've had nine plow-able/ payable snowfalls but only two feet on the ground right now. That's about a third less then average. A lot of rain events and down in the valley 1000 feet below me there are a lot of bare south facing slopes. But not parking the plow just yet as March can send greetings anytime.

The two big storms we had have put us close to average so far for the year. We still get more storms here till late April.

Plow 11 times so far high snow measure 16" on ground one time,maybe do to warmer winter plus ground didn't freeze tight until mid January.

16 plows, about 2-3 feet on the ground...but never take March lightly!

the snow cover is not as good I hoped it to be this winter. Lake ontario has been half a foot below normal average all winter and last summer the water levels were waaaay too low. That kinda bothers me some as its showing me a new trend - we are entering a yearly long term drought and its not good for gardens. Hopefully the storm that supposed to hit us next week will help.

Snow? What snow? Haven't had the blower out of the barn in 2 years, bought a new tub of ice melt three years ago and haven't even opened it yet! I would have to guess we have been below average...:confused3:
