Total snowfall was also estimated based on yesterday's data. The wind, last night changed the landscape drastically. The drifted snow is crusted and hardened so much that it allowed me to walk on without sinking in the snow. The dynamic pressure distribution around my house shaped the drifts, crests, troughs and cornices. This has got to be the best part of a blizzard aftermath.
