Dude, that's pretty freaking crazy! :-D

Taken on March 8, 2008, at 3pm. Notice how dark it was! It was the 6th
(and last!) snow storm of the winter, each dumping more than 30cm of snow.
The following pictures are as we dug ourselves out, the next day.

As of today the current snowfall total for the season here is 95.4 inches.
More is supposed to be on the way tomorrow.
I made a little comic in honor of groundhog day, which is today

Impressive, but a lot of that looks like drifts rather than accumulation
of precipitation. ;-)
Of course, now I can't find the photos I took from a couple years ago
here in Utah. ;-)

Cool, but how about having the centre point as the minimum temperature in
the dataset rather than zero - it looks a bit confusing with the negatives
going into June and July - still really cool though - did you use POV for
that?

Southern Finland (~80km north from Helsinki central), somewhere around
15-20cm and been on the ground for a week or two.

I have never heard the assumption that the objects don't deform. Assuming
small elastic deformations during the collision is popular, or even small
inelastic deformations, but never *no* deformation...
Even at school I remember doing the coefficient of restitution in physics
classes, that allows you to calculate what happens during inelastic
collisions:

OMG! LOL!
I'm loving the way the snow is piled higher than an adult human... ;-)
