I guess the motor would help but there must be a lot of pedal power too. 6" that surprises me, I though it would make quite a difference. Yah, I get about unevenly compacted, I've been dealing with that here, walking is hard and pushing a loaded wheelbarrow is sometimes quite exciting. :shock:

Thanks for sharing your photos, I love seeing your bike in them too.

Yeah the report of 60 cm seems a bit off based on the pictures. But makes good media hype. In all fairness, even 15-30 cm was a very good score given the fact that the forecast was for maybe 5-10 cm at most.

I’m sure there was lots of melting and compacting because that doesn’t look like 2ft to me. Especially on the roof tops in behind.

The GFS is solidly on #teamspring #team11C #team :evilpine:

I see a 15C high on 3/17 with sunshine. I'd love that, especially since that is a Sunday and I can drink beer on my balcony at 2PM. :wave: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:
It always snows in December in the Kootenays :clap:

Down to -0.7C here. Clear skies, calm winds and Fresh snowcover will most likely aid in producing some impressive mins for some areas tonight.
