How "deep" is winter

The boys were playing in the yard the other day and dig a hole in the snow under the baby seat of our swing set. Guess how deep the hole was?

This winter, snow did not really come to stay until February. In one short month, the amount of snow accumulated in an undisturbed spot is deep enough to bury the boys well past their shoulders when they are standing on their heads!
