It’s difficult to put a total on the amount of snow that fell during our so-called “winter weather event” across our district.
The Town of Cochrane infrastructure department has these numbers.
It says the snowfall itself was about 60cm. That’s two feet. The strong, relentless wind caused localized drifting exceeding 1.2m, or four feet.
You can probably relate to this, too: the department says on roadways, snow piled up to about the height of a vehicle hood, especially in exposed areas.
