It's so funny what we call powder here, and I also agree with you. This is DMV powder. I was up on the Tug Hill a couple weeks ago like I've mentioned 100 times now lol. The snow there is just different. It's harder to walk in this 3" i have on my street than it was to walk in 20" up there. I walked in fresh stomach high snow on morning and you could almost run in it. Once it packs down it's a different story.
