80" of snow this week.

So far haven't seen any snow but we did get some sprinkles

Sort of wanted to see what 80"s of Snow at once was like, maybe the Metric System is still messing with my head but I see 12-14" (maybe) on the ground plus Banks.

The verdict is still out, if a Forward or Backward Blower for me, it seems you are still turned around most of the time with that much snow

I am turned around most of the time. If going a long stretch you may just look forward but only once you know exactly where you are not in a single opening driveway. 80" of snow turns into about 30 inches in less than a week. It gets pretty dense.

Yeah, lake effect 80" turns into nothing quickly with high winds blowing it into giant drifts.

we had 40" overnight once years ago. locked everything down for a few days. but they have the equipment up here to get things moving again pretty fast. it did take me quite awhile to get out to my tractor and get the place cleaned up though. we generally get about 100-120" per season here, but i doubt weve seen 6" so far this season.

We are cold enough here that the Snow doesn't really melt until March, but accumulations aren't like the old days. I have 1 year recorded at the Cabin of 147"s overall and total of 5' on the ground. Lake travel was almost 0, even Snowmobiles were having troubles.

This is about the Limit of Lake Travel and that is with 2' on the ground. Snowblower would be so helpful in eliminating the Bank and less Drifting.

A 1" Drifting would plug this road full

This is from a couple of years ago. It took me 3 days of plowing for me to get to my front gate. That is the most I've seen in my part of wyoming.
