John, we’ve lived in our house since 1986. It’s a one-lane, one-block east-west street with rowhouses on both sides. The first 10-15 years we were here, snow covered our block in early December, and the snow and ice persisted until March. For the last several years, we ~might~ get 10-15 cm overnight (though it’s usually just rain), and it’s gone by the next afternoon.
