How much snow do you have in your backyard???

[KingM]

Plenty, but it's boring, old snow. Both here and on the mountain. I need some fresh stuff to play in and I don't mind a bit of shoveling to go along with it.

We had 8" as of yesterday morning and most of it is light and powdery.

In the neighborhood of a foot in CT, and a little under 2 feet in VT - The condo association at my place in VT had to shovel drifts off my roof and dig out the top of the vent pipe for the furnace this past week - always a good snowpack sign when the roofs need to be shoveled off!

About 10" after today with a nice crust of ice on top. The pile next to my driveway from shoveling is about 24" though.

 

[Warp Daddy]

2.5ft on the level

I have no idea. Probably a foot of varying layers from several events. We've had a snowpack for weeks now which is somewhat rare in CT.

i actually have drifts of a 12 to 12.5" out on the back deck. but its got a pretty think ice layer in top.

 

[billski]

This much. Notice anything out of the ordinary?

As I was shoveling Weds night to the kitchen door, I realized the sides of the tunnel I was standing in with the shovel was hip high.

I have somewhere between 8-10" with a solid ice crust about 1/2" thick on top of it. As Greg mentioned earlier it's been around quite a while here in Connecticut and continuously since December 31st. We had a good 18" before that point, but it melted.

The ice crust is a pain and my two Saint's hate walking in it.

 

[billski]

been through two big bags of sand in two days. We've this tundra that melts during the day, drops the sand beneath and refreezes the next day.
All I can say is that I'm glad it's in my yard and not the hills!

My son went sledding in the back yard yesterday afternoon and he REALLY struggled to walk back up the hill through the drifted snow. He was post holing up to his thighs much of the time. I'd guess most areas have 2-2.5 ft of cover with lots of 4 foot drifts around.

Euler - any sleet induced crusts? heading up to bromely saturday and stratton sunday. wondering what to expect....

I have a 200' gravel/dirt driveway that is currently a thick sheet of ice. I don't even trust my Vibram soles on it -- this morning I put on my snowshoes (with their built-in crampons) to take out the trash.

Snowpack here is > 1.5' which is relevant only if you're skiing Bradford. Not surprisingly they're reporting loose granular/machine groomed surfaces there now but min base 24".

We've had meltage, but also have had enough refreshers to keep the snowpack well over a foot. I love having two foot+ banks lining the driveway and sidewalk for much of the winter. Aside from that one week of meltage towards the end of December, we've been mostly white this winter. Excellent winter so far in SNE. Loving it!

 

[BigJay]

Right now about 30in of good looking white stuff!

 

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

3 inches of crust as a base with 3 inches of powder on top..we'll unfortunately be back to mostly grass by Sunday afternoon..oh well..

 

[Warp Daddy]

3 ' on the level 4+ ft snowbanks in driveway -- had to shovel the roofs last week

 

[hammer]

Too much...it's been hard to see around the piles at the end of my driveway...

I know that most here will disagree, but while I am more than happy to see it on the slopes if I didn't have any in my yard that wouldn't bother me at all.

I'm sure you don't mind the shoveling. Last time I was at the Golden Lion I saw the kids doing it.
