Report Your Snow Depth

We're in the middle of a winter storm right now! Started snowing lightly this morning.........got around 6 inches right now. Supposed to get allot more by morning.
 
no snow along 395 yet. i made the trip from socal to reno/tahoe last weekend. only snow is way up high in the sierras. there is no snow in the socal resorts. hopefully it will come soon.
 
Normally we get a few snow storms as we have so far before Holloween. Then about Thanksgiving we start to get our major storms that dump a bunch of snow which lasts till April or June
 
Same here. The storm we got last night dumped about ten inches. Most of it'll be gone in a week or so. Then it'll take a couple weeks for the ground to freeze. After that, the snow we get from then on will be here till April.
 
Another dusting of 2-3 inches on Donner Summit(CA) the 10th of Nov but nature can't seem to make the stuff stay around...

Hi thcri! I'm also in SE Minnesota and no snow yet, but forecast temps are for below the freezing point, so precip might be in the form of snow. Ground isn't frozen yet, so probably wouldn't last.
 
That chart of annual snowfall doesn't bode well for the "Global Warming" Crowd. Looks like the cycles in the last 120 some odd years look normal, and if that is the case, we are going to get a bunch more snow in the next few years....

By the way, just South of Nenana, Alaska, this last week we got about a foot of snow...and -15...

Here is a nice chart to show you folks that it REALLY DOES SNOW here in California!!

This recording station is in Soda Springs, CA. This is near Donner Summit/Boreal/Sugar Bowl if you know those places. It's also just down the hill from my property.

Some key stats from the chart:
Average Annual Snowfall: 408 inches = 34 feet
Average Max Snowpack on Ground: 142 inches = 11.8 feet

No snow where I live, but there has been some on high ground and I had to go to Hereford (about 90 miles away) and passed over the mountains and they have had a lot of snow in the last couple of days. Wish I had some - I wanna go out to play!
 
Had some fluffy stuff in ABQ thursday night and friday. Almost 2" in some places, but most of it melted off by saturday morning.

Arrived in MHT saturday afternoon and saw a few small patches from the air, but nothing on the roads. Hope to find some snow when I head toward CanUK early in the week.
 
Just returned from the cabin today. We have about 5-6" of snow on the ground and cold. Laramie was 3 last night. Still not enough snow to get the tucker out. We were able to get 9 slash piles burned over the 3 day weekend.

Yes, we can relate here in La Pine, not enough snow to run the groomer so burning brush piles and cutting firewood. Its been nice to have the extended fall season with out the snow fall to get these things done around the house but now its time to get that snowcat going down the trails.

It snowed and blowed for 11 days straight. Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, we had it all, the real Arctic stuff! Got trapped at the camp for half a day(phase 3), stuck in snow drifts several times with the old(actually brand NEW!) ford Crew cab Turbo Diesel 4 X 4. Made the 60 Mile run to Endicott, in convoy both ways. Total accumulation about a foot, but after the 60 MPH winds it left us with Drifts 20 to 40 FEET! The D9 Cat that was plowing the parking lot where my office is got stuck over a dozen times. We have (2) 988 size Loaders with scoops and blades, another with a 2 stage Snow Blower, (2) Cat Graders, and (1) D9-Cat working around the clock. It finally stopped blowing we should be dug out by this afternoon. It's amazomg how seriously stuck one can get in a 2 or 3 foot drift! Fortunately, even though I got stuck a couple of times, no one saw me and I didn't have to call out for a 'Tow'. Trying real hard to avoid the dreaded "TUNDRA DRIVER AWARD".
 
This is a joint we call "PIZZA HUT" where we have morning safety meetings.

It looks like we will get some snow here in Central Oregon! :letitsnow:

The weather service here in Denver is predicting 30-40" of snow in the southwest part of the state. They are under a winter storm warning. The area is down by telluride

Boggie, those Chinese characters in your signature say "Don't drink too much coffee." I think you already know this, though. If you want, I can produce a stranger signature for you. Something you even wouldn't want to write in English on these forums.
