That has to be from blowing snow,(snow drift) I haven't heard of anybody in the northeast getting that much snow. Highest amount on the news was about 30" in Hartford CT. They did have some really high winds though. Pretty dang impressive though.

Thats all really a lot worse than many realize. When you have snow piled up against the house if a quick thaw or rain comes along and you do not clean off the roof it caves in. The water can puddle against the house and flood in. If you have any wood sidding or doors they warp not a good thing. The slow melt can get under stuco threw miniture cracks freeze at night and slab off the outside. Many people in the south just think you shovel a path to the car and it simply melts away later just like people in the North do not understand water from storms can sit there for several months. Snow that deep provides a continual opportunity for disaster. Hopes and prayers to those in NewEngland.
To fix the problem one should not make more assumptions than the minimum needed.

Only 5" of rain this year since July ... This is way we ride 360 Days a year
This is also why our Bikes wear out so soon .. not much time to do maintenance.

"What they do have is an implacable, unrelenting presence and movement that bespeaks massive power lurking behind paint and chrome. They don't wail like a screeching ninja, the don't rumble like a harley. They just growl like a spactic, stressed out badger waiting to rip your face off and eat your soul." Trainzz~RIP~
although impressive amounts,they are in the snow belt of upstate N.Y. and are used to that amount of snow,unlike Ct and Boston. I've seen massive amounts of snow(halfway up 1st floor windows) in Saranac Lake area,and they don't blink an eye,just clear snow and go about there buisness,I'm sure you see your share up your way to,Wade. We used to see alot,but in the last 10 yrs.,not so much.Which is fine with me.
