Snowfall in Your Backpacking Area (Winter 2007/2008)

For those of you who backpacking in areas with snow, how's the snowfall been this season in areas that you backpack?

I tend to go backpacking in the Mt. Hood in the winter, since it is relatively close.

Mt. Hood (so far this season) has received nearly 500" of snow with 166" (421.64cm) currently on the ground (Timberline L. area).

Over the past several days, there has been 2-3 feet received each day.
