Those numbers sound like they come from the Environment Canada site. That site tells you snow fall in terms of how much water the snow would melt to. So, heavy snow measures more millimetres than light snow, even if both snow falls were equally deep.After my first year from moving in here, the thought of blowing the snow by myself was too much so I hired someone to do it.
Well, we had a total accumulated snow fall of 534 mm (21")
so far this year we've had an accumulation of 254 mm (10") Unfortunately I think it counts all the rain we had in Nov. Dec. in that calculation as well. I'm not sure. I only care because I don't have to shovel rain!
If I've posted this pic before, sorry - just can't remember.
Looks like this latest nor'easter turned into a no'easter.![]()
In that case, GG, please thank your friend for taking our share of the snowfall. The weatherguy kept saying how dry the upper atmosphere was, and that it would take a while for snow to accumulate. Almost all of it evaporated on the way down, since we got only a dusting that was gone by mid-morning. Virga and sublimation - our two favorite winter weather events.
Hey buckytom, how much snow did you get down your way? Or were you a good boy and get spared a fresh load of work?
