That's what we were suppose to get according to weather men at the begining of the week. It slowly dropped down till the last I heard was 8-12 for our area. We ended up with maybe 8 on the level with some nice drifts. Good storm but not what I was hoping for.
I'm glad you thought of that,,,,,,I sure didn't. I'll start doing it now while the snow is still "dry", some areas have good drainage away from the house and some don't. The back area does not have good drainage, so to save on any sump pump overload I'll start shoveling/Blowing.
