With hardly any snow so far this winter, we thought that this winter would not be one with much snowfall. But today’s snowstorm is one of the biggest I have ever seen in this area and we have lived here for 29 years. But a picture is worth a thousand words. It is currently snowing again, and this measurement is how deep the snow was when we went out about 2:00 p.m. to try and start shoveling our driveway. We were just 1/4 inch short of 10 inches.

Using a 12 inch ruler I measured the snow about 2 pm and we were 1/4 inch shy of of 10 inches of snow.
It was a very heavy snow and it took us a while to clear the driveway.
