It varies a lot. I’m like RIGHT on the ocean, so it very often turns to rain, or is slushier than we’ll get further inland, even within my own town. So I’ll get an inch of wet stuff, then I’ll go further west and and it’s 4, 5, maybe even 6 inches in comparison.
Other times, Mother Nature says “Hell nahhh…. ANYBODY CAN GET IT!”, and we just get smoked…

So far this year, almost nothing. The first storm missed us other than a dusting. We got hit last week, I think my town reported five inches, but I don’t think I got that much. It was light and it moved easy. My driveway is unfortunately the size of a small dead end street, like you could reasonably have a small lot on either side of it and a third at the end, if arranged differently and the neighboring lots weren’t where they are, so it was still a couple hours and change to get it cleaned up. I’d say it was 3-4 inches MAX, and I’m thinking more like 2.
I’m 6’2, or 74 inches, but it’s probably irrelevant at this point because I’m not even ankle-deep yet. I think the record for me as an adult was thigh-high in one shot, a little higher than the picture I posted. I’d imagine that must be 2, 2 1/2 feet anyway.
I'm in California, in the Bay Area. About once every 10 years or so, we get snow - somewhere between half an inch and an inch, typically (1.25 - 2.5 cm). It usually isn't on the ground for more than an hour before it either melts or the snow turns into rain, so it's rarely an issue.
Of course, a short 3-hour drive puts you into the Sierra Nevada mountains, near Reno and Tahoe, where it is world-class snow-skiiing and they measure snow fall in dozens of feet per year, so it's not hard to get to snow if you want it.
One of my customers owns this old ski lodge near Tahoe, and they often have 10' or more of snow on the ground during winter:


They routinely get enough snow that they had to buy this little snow-blower to keep the parking lot and side roads clear:

I'd say that qualifies as real snow.
Ha Ha, I actually looked it up a couple days ago. We had a couple bad blizzards this year, which is not normal, we're WAY above average in snow. We average 32 inches a year, which would roughly be about mid thigh? I'm a shrimp. If the poor little guy ever gets stuck in the snow, I'd say send a St. Bernard with some brandy but the dog would probably eat him by mistake.
Surprised after "science" said greenhouse gasses trap heat , if so heat would CHANGE snow to RAIN.
reality was snow.
Well over my head! We've had around 127" this year and average about the same each year. We also get lake effect snow 🙄 It's so bad, they're actually taking dump trucks full of snow and putting back into the lake lol that's where it came from! I moved here from Florida two years ago!
@HungTexan Oh God, yes! My first winter here, I took the bus to work a couple times! 😭 Also, like the snow isn't bad enough, then the subzero temperatures come! Sometimes I actually cry going to work driving in the snow.
@Beckybooboo I remember moving to Alaska from Amsterdam years ago. We had some gold and snow in the Netherlands, but nothing like Anchorage. Stay warm.
@Beckybooboo
Is this in Dakota?
@Beckybooboo that’s cold as well, but with extra cheese 😂
@Beckybooboo I’m cheese lover too

We get a bunch in the mountains but down in the city it's not a lot. We had one day where we got like 20 cm (I posted pictures on here). But that was it. Sometimes we don't even get real snow fall all winter maybe a bit and it turns to mush instantly and then it's over. In the mountains they get more, but even there it's declining. The glaciers are melting every year.
We don't get a ton of sun in Switzerland but at least we're gonna be one of the last places in the world that has fresh water supply if it ever comes to that. I hope it won't but it's still nice to be prepared.
I see you wrote more snow this year than past.
Clearly we need more co2 to combat global cooling, as predicted in 1970s.
@strateguy632 As a kid there used to be more snow even in the flat regions. Now sometimes we get a little snow or none at all. t's still variable but the trend is decreasing not increasing.
This could have been a picture of me. My father used to take my sister and me to school on a sleigh in winter, as it was close by. The sleigh is still in the family, old style made of a wood (platform) a steel frame.

Similar to this.
I'm able to at least still see what's ahead of me, but I bet our friend @Circushowcowboy has disappeared and gotten lost a couple times, have you not Pauly?
When I lived in Cleveland the total would have been much more than one Pauly 😂😂😂
@Circushowcowboy nah, I know what they get, I’m guessing that’s why you loved away xoxo
Yea big part of it lols
@Circushowcowboy aww. You just needed me for a light snow! I was a toddler at that age but…
"More than one Pauly" is better than expected. Lmao!
How did they carry up about?
@Circushowcowboy did they attach a flag or balloon to you, to keep track of where you'd go?

@Valdemort 😂 whatever Valdy!
@Circushowcowboy I can kinda see it happening though 🤣
@Valdemort lmaoo
Those who are old enough to remember the blizzard of 1979 we had 14 ft of snow in Illinois that winter I have a picture somewhere of me walking directlyroof of our house on a snow drift. That is how big the drifts were.
SS
In the 60’s. It was nothing to get one or two storms that were near knee deep. Now if we get a total of a foot. In the whole winter. People call it a blizzard’
Not much driving done in three feet of snow. But I agree with the driving part. We are not allowed to cut donuts in the parking lots anymore. Taught you to drive and was fun.
The problem around me is. It snows so infrequently. People never get to learn to drive in snow. Then it snows and look out!
Despite my height, it doesn't reach anywhere beyond my shins- not in my part of the country anyway. Though I think @Circushowcowboy would still have trouble making his way through.
You all act like I’m a leprechaun 😭😂😂
@Circushowcowboy that's pretty big for both of us 😝
😅 me on your shoulders can look one in the eye
@Circushowcowboy hahahahaha that's quite a reach!
It varies year to year here but this year there hasn't been much snow to speak of - maybe just passed my ankles
Between knee and hip height total. @Circushowcowboy however, lives in a town called whoville, on one such snowflake
Lols pffft
At the moment here it's probably close to half in total but may reach full since the snow sticks around for a few days or weeks then melts to be replaced soon after for about 3 months full.
Not much! I am nearly 5 foot 7 and I think we got like 2 inches this year so far, last year we got zero.
Every few years we'll get an inch or two on the hills but lower down it's rare to see any proper snow. Not had any this year.
They look a little young to go to work lol ! Probably a global warming problem, we don't experience as much snow as we used too !
Actually @Sunrising temperature gets measured by THERMOMETER, which shows cooler temperatures so "global warm " is NOT global just gullible warming, nor is snow the way to measure warming, just a THERMOMETER.
Surprise! You believed "global warming" was a fact, but warming is NOT global ↗
@strateguy632 Thank you for putting me right !
👍👍👍👍
Maybe one cm that stayed for a day or two. It snowed on a few more days, but thawed immediately as the ground was too warm.
Pretty much none.

This year, we haven't had much snow at all, but most years we get about four feet over the course of the entire winter.
About 2-3 inches, not enough for sledding :P
I guess it's cause of the global warming :(
When I was a kid, snow was at least 20 inches or more ☃️
In nyc' we usually get 30 inches which is a bit less than half my tall ness
In year 2024 new york had more snow than previous years!

"I know someone who goes to work like this. "
That's outrageous.
Kids that young shouldn't have to work!
Are you using some kinda double irony or something now?
Because it's ironic if you complain about "no one can take a joke anymore" while missing the joke at the same time.
If you where serious, it would seem like hypocrisy to complain about no one can take a joke anymore, while at the same time not being able to take a joke.
But it's also completely possible this got a bit to meta for me to clearly follow.
A joke inside a joke inside a joke inside a...
Jokeception :p
(Wordplay on Joke and Inception)
(Inception is a movie from 2010)
None as I live in southern side of my country. It snows in the northern side.
Lately we only get dustings. Here one day, gone the next. This time it's lingering because it's been so fridged
I'd be shocked if it got into my boots so ankle deep probably less
We used to get about three feet of snow a year. Now we are lucky to see a snow storm
It varies a lot. Some years not much some years 10-12 ft
None cause L. A. never gets snow... we do get lots of fire though... yippeeee
Sixty-five percent or so. I'm 5'81/2" (681/2 inches tall), and the Windsor-Detroit region gets about 45 inches of snow on average.
A couple inches-feet just depends on the year and its 45 mins away from me not where I live
I had 8 inches at my house in Louisiana last week….
Three years ago, we got 6ft of snow. The past two years we've gotten half that!
You know someone who goes to work on a sled pulled by his father?
Pretty much 0 now that I over out west
XD whatever
Like less then 6 inches I think
maybe 5% of my height
It's extremely rare to snow here
Nearly all of it here in Michigan.
Almost none. It's rare in Seattle.
Maybe my big toe
Maybe 4 inches at most
We barely get 3 inches on average
None, I live in the south
We get maybe 3 inches in 10 years
About 12 percent so far.
700 inches. Much much more than my height.
Zero. I live in Florida.
Enough to cover my foot.
So much its unbelievable
Usually around a foot total.
About a quarter of my height
There has been no profit for two years..
Zero
0% every year
I'm not sure I understand the question
0 thank God! Lol
