Ya the drifting made it very difficult to measure but there was 3-4 ft where I lived. We were jumping off our second floor balcony into drifts that were taller than us so the drifts were probably 7-8 ft. If that happened today could you imagine what the snow maps would have looked like!

As much as I rant and rave about late season snow, I would much prefer it in the heart of winter.

68-71* this week. Sunny and Dry. Pretty typical for us. Late December often puts us in a warm spell before we get clobbered in January. Just hoping for some rain in all that.

Man blewett pass has a ton of snow at the summit and north side. About the most I've seen this early!

All of our snow has melted out (protected north facing still has patches) and it rained to 9k last night. Long range shows no cold air through the middle of January. This winter is turning into our usual drought year dud.
