WOW, is all I can say. When I went to bed at 2:00am there was no snow on the walking path in front of the house. And this is what I found when I got up at 8:00am.... 40 to 41cm (16inch) of fresh snow!!! There still was a considerable amount of snow on the rest of the garden and there is now well over half a meter! The trees and shrubs are breaking under the snow load! Shouldn't it be spring my mid March?
