We have a total of 18" in our back yard! I measured the snow on our bridge deck on friday at 13. Today I measured the depth at 18". Our back yard is surrounded by heavy forest so there is no appreciable wind and no drifting.
I can't remember having this amount of snowfall in many years. We'll have plenty of water in the dugouts and ponds come spring.
**** here in cochrane theres maybe 6 inchs , and i dunno about the flood part we dont have alot of snow, back home there have 6 ft of the white stuff that may cause some floods
