@Devlyn,
I'm lousy at metric conversion so I googled and you are right on at one foot of snow. 1 cm = .39 inches. 30 cm = 11.81 inches. Not that much compared to what you got. I had drifting in my driveway up to my knees, I am short only 5 feet, so one of your drifts would be my height.
@Bethany,
that link has awesome pics of the snow. That is going to take quite a while to get the streets unplugged from the snow. Good thing you don't have to go outside.
