Unusual Snow

We have had an unusual snow season this year. Last year was light but this year was remarkably light. There have been a few days this whole winter that we have had our lawns entirely covered with snow. Usually they get covered in Nov/Dec and we don't see grass again until April at the earliest. Well this year that isn't the case. Also, we usually have to shovel the snow off the garden in large chunks; Not the case this year.
