Every few years we get tons of deep snows (2 and 3 feet per storm).  Not this year....this year we actually got
very little comparatively speaking but what we did get is still piled up everywhere because it's been so cold for
so long.  The year I shoveled the tunnel from the back to the front of the house for kitty was one of those 2 -3
feet snows. 

Today it's clear and cold...24F right now (about -4C).
