Yes - a great picture! I cannot remember the last winter where the temp dropped to -40. Used to be we'd get 3 to 5 weeks of that over winter - usually Dec and Jan. 13' of snow is NOT the record. Lately, no more than about 6 or 7' total fall. The bush seems to hover around 4' or 5' most winters. Used to be 7' - 8' in the bush all winter long, replaced if it melted or if it settled too much with warm spells. Our March spring bunny hunting was always on snowshoes over 6 to sometimes over 8' of snow as well. Bunnys all up top sunning themselves beside birch trees. Hard to spot the white bunny - have to look for his black eye. Once spotted, the stood out quite well - but hard to see initially if they don't move. Sometimes a blink or slight head movement will give them away.

When the snow gets deep too deep for pounding through it, out come the misery slippers (snowshoes). What fun! - not.

When Foxton's Lady Jessica, my runt Liver and White English Springer would get tired of bounding through the snow to retrieve snowshoe hares, she'd sneak around behind me then step up on my snowshoes for a ride. THAT was tiring - not hauling her around, but getting back up onto my feet after digging myself and rifle out of the snow. Flintlocks do not like that, BTW.
