Only got about 6" total, but it got pretty cold. Nice weather we are having now and finally been able to start planting the garden ( guess what I've been doing today ) now for all the weeds, etc. in the flower beds. Hope it didn't ruin any fruit from growing off the apple, cherry and apricot trees. Then were in full bloom so just won't know for while. Glad you got a back-up machine, they sure can come in handy sometimes. Would love to see your tree skirt when you get it pieced together.
