Ken,
You got me curious and I went looking for the metric for Boston. I
can't find it, although I AM sure it exists somewhere. For 2008, the
total snowfall appears to be about 85 in. I could not find any data for
fall 2008 so this number doesn't include the fall of 08. I got that by
adding the monthly recorded snowfall for January through March. This
does not mean the total depth at any given time. There is another
metric used by a weather watchers group, Snow depth days. I am not sure
how that is measured but it sounds like the total depth of snow for any
given day, including what may have fallen previously.
But why does a seemingly simple question get so complicated so easily?
Another puzzle for another day.

Glad to see you're enjoying the snow. We just had the snowiest year -
Jan to Dec 08 in the history of record keeping, here in the Detroit
area - something like 83 inches.

I love those snow pictures. Keep them coming.

Ask and it shall be given. I've added more to last night's gallery:

All the Canadians, Montanans, Alpens and so on will have to forgive
me for
making such a fuss about such a piddling amount of snow, but it's a rare
thing in London.
