We aren't really losing the big storms, just the light and moderate ones. That seems like the real problem. There have been much larger intervals without an 18"+ or 12"+ storm.

Temps at 30-31 and heavy precip limited ice accretion overnight - probably about 0.25" of ZR on top of what was (prior to compaction) more or less 3" of snow and sleet. Looks pretty though.
