I’m sure we have some old photos buried at my mom’s house. Couldn’t find them last time we looked though. I measured a 38” max depth here. I know people in Victoria that said they had over 4 feet on the ground but it was hard to measure with the blowing and drifting. I remember seeing some photos from Colwood and Langford area where people’s garage doors where almost totally drifted in

Just an incredible event!

Euro has 2 distinct pieces of energy that does not phase until it's in the Great Lakes. Drops significant snow in MN and parts of the Dakota's, before eventually becoming a nor'easter. Followed by a lot of cold. Obviously those of us in Iowa and NE really hope this changes in future runs.

Stole some photos from the internet in memory of the blizzard of 96 on southern Vancouver island

Looks like we can write off all of January in about a week 2/3s of winter is pretty much spent now and we are above normal with 0 snow. I'd say no way next year could be worse, but I've said that before and it ends up being even worse. Our climo is Oklahomas now in winter.
