we dont typically get much winter here in south western bc, we typically get a total of a week of snow spread out over 2-3 small snowfalls. right now we are still around 45*f during the day, and freezes up overnight. last year was the worst winter ive ever seen, 38 days in a row with the daily high being below freezing, and had 4' + of snow and once it warmed up we had a week of freezing rain. cant say ive seen that much snow around where i am since i was a kid.

 

It snows a ton in michigan.... lucky you.
