Yes snow cover is pretty widespread for a prolong time in the winter the past few years I can remember. From the first frost till about Christmas it seems to be mostly dry with some snow, yet from that point on till spring snow hits heavy and hard with thaws and flooding in between. It's not uncommon to have 10 degree weather one part of the week and have 55 degrees by the weekend in Jan and Feb. I assume because of standing water from snow melt I will have to pick a site not prone to water-logging. I bet i could build soil mounds up with topsoil I have to create drier beds for them.
