Ended up with closer to 24", drifts as much as 3-4'. Some places where the wind scoured and packed the snow down to as little as 0-6". Got some local trails broken out with snowshoes, no other human tracks out there yet, even after 2 days. I wish I was half the photographer that some of you are. There's some really cool drift patterns out there. There's an open field I cross to get into the forest. The wind rearranged the snow into waves. The dog very cooperatively took turns breaking trail with me (he stands 33" at the withers and was sinking in to mid-chest so his feet were still a few inches away from the ground), and he's even learning to stay off the tails when behind. Not fun to pick up a 'shoe and find 1/4 of a 120 lb dog on it! Still VERY cold and windy. New parka and balaclava pass with flying colors, but they're making the old snow pants look pretty scruffy...
Oh well after 20 more weeks I will be getting paid to snowshoe and ski
