Report Your Snow Depth

2 feet fell during a 3 day storm a couple weeks ago, the first of the season and not much since. Went up last week, snow was compacted down to maybe 16-18" (not light and fluffy powder this early on).
Fired up the Imp and plowed my driveway. Need to try to stay on top of it before winter really gets cranking since Imps are only good for relatively light duty plowing. And really, it's just to carve out a parking/turnaround space for my 4x4 at my cabin; that's if I can even get there in the 4x4 and if some nice soul plows the 1/4 mile of unimproved road to my cabin. If not, I shoe in and fire up the Imp the hard way.

Houghton just happens to be my last name....just saying. Michigan is one of the few states I've never been to. Looks like you got hit with lake affect snow. Would see that occasionally when I lived outside of Chicago.
My second trip up to my cabin this season. Only about 3" of new since a couple weeks ago. Did some more plowing of my driveway and some chainsawing of trees that were bent across the road from the first heavy snowfall. Too much wet snow falling for too long = bent and broken trees. Will end up adding to my firewood pile.
Ypull notice I have a huge solar panel bungee'd to the front, facing south for the scant 3 hours of winter sun poking over the ridge. Keeps the battery charged. I remove the panel when in operation.
Winter doesn't really kick in until late December...an early start this year in North central Washington. Gonna be a good year!

NONE
It was snowing in Chicago while I was up at UIC coaching their fencing club, but none of it stuck.
Temperature about 30(F) degrees according to the car's dashboard readout. No snow falling while I drove southeast to get home. But also high winds and a power outage that took out 1/2 the county! Got a text from the lovely Mrs_Bob that we lost power about 6:30pm but the generator kicked on. The local power company said we should have power restored by 9:15am.

Zero snow here in St Louis MO.
You guys should just plan to stay away from here
