Snow depth report

I like to see the depth of the snow and snow storm totals,no one ever reports storm totals or snow cover on the ground.

Barry's Response - I have a great map for that. It is produced by the Canadian government and includes the northern half of the US. It is updated daily at midnight (06 UTC) and can be found here.

I don't know if other countries produce such a map. Keep in mind the numbers represent flat field depths (such as those found at airports), and we all know drifts can be much deeper. This would lead to outstanding situations like the one in the picture above.
