My guess is 24". So hard to tall as it is 14" in some places and 44" in others. All I know is I wish i had finished tapping last week.

Anywhere from 6-10", but the wind caused the real problem. I had to snowblow 3 feet of it from the driveway. We were totally drifted in. Anyone who was able to get their cars out found themselves dealing with glare ice on all of the roads. Not good.

The paths that I had packed down to get my trees have now all filled in again. Back to square one.

About 18" with lots of drifting in a second half of the storm. Before that it was too wet and heavy. Started as rain, and 42 degrees, as the temp dropped thru the day, it changed to snow making slush, then that froze and the lighter stuff too over with lots of wind. I was working at the sugarhouse but kept hearing large limbs crashing to the ground, so I went home. Returned today, found big limbs down but found none that damaged anything so far. If it wasn't so bad, it did look pretty.

Forecast was for 12", but we finished up with about 1" of snow and 1/4" of ice. Didn't even have to plow!

We ended up with 6 or 7 inches, but man did it blow and drift like crazy. It was fairly wet snow and the drifts are densely packed and too much for my snow blower to handle.

Close to two feet here, but as others have said, quite wind affected so difficult to say for sure. Was boiling until midnight in the blizzard so took yesterday off to go skiing.

Guessing about 8 inches here, hard to tell with so much wind. Drifts in the driveway however were 4-5 feet deep, as far as the bush goes all trails, tractor tracks etc are filled in.

First day of digging out. Im about half done. 7 hours on a tractor is long enough. The drifts are 4&5 foot deep and Im lovin my Kubota. Going to go up tomorrow and finish.Trees havent even started dripping yet,but how can they when the warmest its been is 30 degress.May be by next weekend it will start warming up.
