I take it that amount of snow is not common in Erie. You can have a lot of fun with large amounts of snow.

80" or so in the last five days? No, that's not normal, @Zeph.

And that's not updated with the 20" or so we got today.

And Southwest.

I spent 2 months when I was 8 years old in Ithaca NY, then was flown immediately to Berkeley CA by my grandparents because of the inhumane conditions to which I was being subjected.

 Berkeley or Ithaca........hmmmm, I’d need to flip a coin on that choice.

120" is a lot of snow!  Especially in that short time period. What kind of amounts do you usually get during winter? Edit: I saw the table now, 35".

There are some places a couple of hours from where I used to live where 2-4 meters of snow is normal, but that's in a valley with perfect conditions for it.

I went to college at Michigan Tech, which was named the "Snowiest College in the US" a few years ago:

We used to get over 200 inches of snow for the entire year, and it wasn't a huge problem, they knew how to move it.  But I can sympathize with our friends in Erie, getting 10 feet of snow already, when the average is more like 3 feet, has to be pretty difficult to deal with.  Good luck for the remainder of the winter.

Winter is coming. And coming and coming. And coming. 

Hope it warms up for Erie. 

[GolfLug]

Wow, hope the roofs survive..

Pretty sure we motored into "real winter" yesterday. Outside of Sweet Grass, MT. Man it is cold here. I think it was -10F  last night. Luckily we have a large fire place at our disposal. No golf up here.

We got 3+ inches the other day. That feels like snowmageddon to me.
