A certain amount is just wind blowing snow around like you said. The challenge is to find a place that minimizes that effect. I have found a sheltered spot that works pretty good most of the time but there is no guarantee that it will always work.

I don’t believe I have enough to measure yet in Paradise. It’s coming down but slowly. I have a new 30cm ruler that I’m waiting to try out though. I had some of the numbers worn off my old ruler. LOL

I was only 37 years old in the winter of 2001 and I didn’t own a snowblower. We did everything the old fashioned way with a shovel back then.
