Its hard to imagine that your getting that much snow in such a small period of time. I hope it doesn't play too much of a hazard. It kind of reminds me of the horrific snow storms especially living on the northern peninsula in newfoundland.
I can remember one snowstorm in which I was 16 years old. It happened at the end of the easter holidays. I don't remember the exact amount of snowfall, but it was a storm that lasted continously for about three days.
The most I can remember from that snowstorm, is that it practically buried houses, it shut down the road to our community for over a week because the snow had built up so much it took over a week for the snow plows to plow the 8 kilometres between our community and the larger community right next to us. When they plowed there was only enough room in some places for a one lane highway going both ways.
To give you an example of how high the snow built up. When there was enough room in the road for the schoolbus to go through, our bus driver did a photograph with the local paper. He stood on top of the school bus and raised his hand, and he still couldn't reach the height of some of the areas where the snow built up.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
