Got 1-2 feet of snow so that's something.
From my understanding however even if we get more precipitation its not enough, because the warmer temperatures means less of a snowpack come winter's end , which is the most important factor in the summer water supply

any precipitation is good, just how much when is the factor.
more snow = more water to melt= higher riverflows=higher reservoir levels come melting season.
1-2feet of snow is ~2" of water. does not sound like much but can be significant depending on the watershed size.
my area(MA)- i'm expecting most reservoirs to be pretty much full this year, i STILL have over 2 feet of snow in my front yard(considering we've had about 8 feet of snow total)- same as most of the state.

It's a little different here. The snow should last in the mountains into mid-spring. The earlier the snow melts and collects in the reservoirs, the earlier it evaporates. The snow in the mountains acts as a natural slow-release mechanism. Sure, it's better than nothing. But it's not ideal.
Not different, like i said more snow= higher levels at melting season time
if it melts early- then...it is not there @mid spring.
no worries either way, hope it cools down to allow more snowpack for later.

It has been 50 degrees here today and yesterday, and a remarkable amount of snow has disappeared. The roads are bare enough that I'm going to ride my motorcycle tomorrow. That's fun.
But I hope we get one more monster storm to cap off the winter season.

Bro there was a rabbit living under our shed and that little bitch was out all winter in the blizzards. It was like he never got the memo to hibernate or anything. Scared the shit out of me more than once shoveling.
Mid to upper 50's today.. what a contrast. Most of the snow is melting, so far no water in the basement, no leaking on my roof, nothing broken.

Yeah this week at night whil walking our dog we spotted around 3 skunks in the roads walking around at night. It was actually quite frightening as they definitely did not seem scared of us. Had to take some longass route home.
