Sorry about that, I reacted immediately to your first post without reviewing all subsequent posts.

We ended up with 10 inches of snow accumulation here in the High Desert, and probably 12-14 inches over the course of 72 hours.

Oh…and Canada? You forgot to pay your snow tax! 😉

_What_ snow tax? We occasionally provide snow to cool the overheated US market as a public service. We certainly do _not_ expect to be taxed on it. If anything, you should be paying _us_. Think of all the snowplow-drivers out of work in Toronto!
