The snow retention even in southern Maine is much better than down here, after last night's snow they have over 10 inches on the ground, parking lots have good size piles. I've been losing it almost as fast as I get it down here.
I remember one year where all we got were nickels and dimes, but it was cold and we had a good pack most of the winter, don't think we had any bigger than 10 inches that year. Will will come along and tell us when that happened.
