I measured about a foot and a half in my yard. It is sticky stuff I started out clearing off the car with the snow brush but ended up doing most of it by hand just moving the snow off in huge blocks.

I am looking for a battery powered snow blower for our next home. I've avoided a blower in the last while as I dislike dealing with the fuel and fumes, a battery powered blower is likely up my alley. Looking for after-season sales on these. We don't have a large driveway and moving a bit further south may mean less snow compared to where I currently live.

Since I got it we have not had enough snow to use it!! I think I might buy another one next year.

I cautiously cleaned up our drive with the snowblower as I didn't want to push myself.
I felt OK. Monday I'll talk to my cardiologist.

We are part owners of a cabin in Soda Springs CA. The lakes that look like a dumbbell are called Serene Lakes. Google calls it Norden. Old community just down from Donner Summit. Ground zero for snow.
Serene Lakes made the Washington Post:

First four pics are our cabin, the rest are in Soda Springs around the cabin. Sorry the first is so small. That is the top of the A frame. The driveway was plowed between snowfall so you can see how deep the surrounding snow is. The driveway snowplow outfit gave up plowing the neighborhood as there is no place to direct the blown snow. The level of the snow in the driveway would be the top of a car parked on bare asphalt. The front porch is up on stairs.

^ good lord Jim, that is something I would consider as being a nightmare, even as a Canadian. wow. Was this just a freak snowfall event or does the area get regular snow ? I could not imagine that much snow, I complain about now drifts on my driveway being 1-2 feet but that is crazy drifting snow in those pictures. yikes. Good thing you made it up there and got inside. Good work.
