How bad is it over there in the USA

[CharlesHarris]

The latest storm here began at 11pm last night. As of just now we have sleet and freezing rain being deposited over top of what was at 10m am 12 cm of powder snow, which has not been compressed to 10cm with more freezing rain coming down. We are at 330 metres elevation in the Back Creek Valley. My neighbor 10km away who is farther up the mountain at 800 metres elevation has 25 cm of lovely powder snow.
