27.1” this season at DSM. I think it started hot but faded like most areas west of the lakes.

Yeah it's been a good winter here. Had the fast start like everyone else, but had that very localized 10 inch snow in mid January right before the cold blast that gave us snow depth for it. However, I do not care for some of these solutions to say the least. Two feet of fluffy cement snow and wind is bad, very bad.

Goodness gracious. This is shaping up to be one of the most memorable Marches (March’s?) in quite sometime in the lower Great Lakes.
