Except for some hollow 3000k ft up on a mountain that’s seen 350in.

Because the drifted snow was the driest fluffiest stuff, the speed with which those drifts have settled and melted, especially after the rain, is insane. I have a 4 foot wall across from my house that runs for most of the block along the sidewalk. It was enveloped by a 6 foot drift, you couldn't see it. There is maybe 2 feet there now. Late Feb means most of this snow is gone mid next week.

Yep but now the pack is highly condensed with a bullet proof layer below it. I will take the under on snow being gone by the 6th. My station yesterday

It's very situational, we had got down to grass across all slopes and sunny spots, so there is no bullet proof anything under those parts. On the other hand, the shady spots still did have, it was definitely higher moisture when the snow started, and the compacted shoveled piles are rock solid.  There's also already grass in places, where they were scoured out by drifting. A huge part of the median next to the beach this morning is grass.

I think it'll be winter on one side of the street and spring on the other by tuesday, anyway, bar the ploughed spots, but we will see. I find it substantially more interesting watching it stack in 26 hours than to melt over the course of a week.
