I made it with only a bunch of leaves down and a few small limbs. We only had 4½" of rain in the gauge. But with the rain going horizonal I don't know how accurate the gauge was
. No snow in my neck of the woods, but Davis WVA had 30+" last I heard. I've been there and there is a grocery store, post office, gas station, and a bar....and a whole lot of 4 wheelers...
