Must be on a snow drift. We’re at a higher elevation in Peterborough and got 33 inches. Most seem to be in the 30-35 inch range. 42 inches is way beyond a standard deviation for the area.

We’re a couple miles north of you on the other side of 202.

It’s likely he’s in a pocket where there was a few more inches that happens all the time I don’t know how but it does

That would make sense if it was like 2-3 inches, not 7.

But is it fluffy and sweet?

Got 4-5 inches of some of the heaviest, nastiest wet snow I've ever seen - after TheCloudBoy predicted we'd get 15-18 here in Strafford. It might as well have been a flurry of -concrete-. I think if it had been below 28 degrees, we would have had 15".

It's too dense for our snowblower

Send help lol. We haven't had power since Monday night, which means we also don't have heat or water. We went to a friend's house for internet and got the message from Eversource that power was restored, so we came home. Still no power.

The only thing that will help would be a 200Kt thermonuke, and that might be a problem for your house and garage. On the other hand, after the EMP surge, you wouldn't need to worry about Eversource restoring power to your electronics. 😵‍💫

Good God. Presumably with the dropping temps, that's all turned to ice. Maybe one of those propane flamethrowers? Do they still make those?

My back is sore just from shoveling 4" of that stuff off my 80' walkway.

Having good luck with one of those metal dirt shovels, long 6' wood handle, with a flat blade and flat (sharp) edge. Blade is small, which is good. I think it belonged to my grandfather 🤣.

Regular snow shovels are useless PoS. They're all designed for the kind of snow we haven't seen these past 4-5 years.

I have one of those shovels with a springy handle half way up. It was pretty handy for the walk way. We are still working on finding a plow for the driveway. Our regular plow guy killed his truck in the storm. It's been just at or above freezing up until now so the ice hasn't set in just yet.
