So.. how was your area affected after the snow storm last
night? I got anywhere between 8-12" in places. Some spots
were up to just below my knee and that was standing on top of
the old snow underneath.

Does your structure have large/wide gables? That could

No gables.. The cottage is square, 20' x 20', with a 4 sided roof
that peaks to a point in the middle.

I live in a small valley. The winds can have a significant

We can get some wicked storms coming in off of Georgian Bay
since there's not much between me and the water to break the
wind, a few small trees that don't do much, and being on top of
a hill I still get hit pretty directly. The front is actually
mostly facing South though so the cold North winds hit the back
of the place with only 2 small windows and there are some tall
trees 60 ft or so behind me which maybe breaks it up a bit.

It seems to be getting warmer these days. There are still a few
cold nights shown in the long range, like Tuesday and Thursday
night this week, but it's easier to heat the place most days and
there should be a bigger change over the next couple of weeks most
likely..

I think we are given winter so we appreciate the rest of the
year more.. B)

I'm thinking 12 to 14 inches but it wasn't blowing around so you
got that full depth everywhere. I have since shoveled the paths
around here for about 450 feet and dug out the car. The car could
have been worse, although the plow left a bit of a bank in front
of it, but it was one of the few places where surrounding banks
blocked some of the new snow so, on average, I was dealing with
more like 6 to 8 inches around the car, but there I'm also having
to toss the snow up on top of shoulder high banks.
