I don’t believe I have enough to measure yet in Paradise. It’s coming down but slowly. I have a new 30cm ruler that I’m waiting to try out though. I had some of the numbers worn off my old ruler. LOL
I was only 37 years old in the winter of 2001 and I didn’t own a snowblower. We did everything the old fashioned way with a shovel back then.
Wasn’t 2001 more than 600cm at YYT?
