It's interesting how that works, but I've seen it across town many times. I'm not used to seeing it so profound from East/West, but I've seen dramatic differences at 3 North/South points along Powers Blvd: Barnes, Constitution and Platte. Before they built the overpass @ Platte/Powers I remember one day when we had a major hail storm that left everything covered in white on the North side of Platte. Sitting at the intersection (there was a 4-way light there) looking South, I couldn't see ANY evidence of the hail on the South side of Platte. Always fascinated me.
This is a region of microclimates. It's pretty routine to see one block virtually dry while another neighborhood 1-2 miles over is dumped on. In addition, the wind patterns affect drifts. I'm at the end of a cul-de-sac with a street heading due north from me. Driveways just 2-3 houses away looked like they had 2-3 inches while I shoveled about 3-4 inches Saturday night, 4-6 inches Sunday morning, 3-4 inches Sunday afternoon and another 3-8 inches (depending on where I measured) this morning. Not quite the dry powdery stuff I can sweep away with the shop broom although not quite as wet and heavy as the snows in late spring.

No matter what, I like it and want more of it.
