Normal snowfall for Regina is 1.7 m , the new record was set in 2012/13 and that was 1.98 m , nowhere near 4x .

Re: The truth about winter in Canada.
Last winter (2012 - 2013) we also had 4x the normal snowfall. On this date last year there was 33cm on the ground; today just a trace. I know a few men who plow and haul snow and they said even though there were a couple of 35 degree days last summer the snow dump never completely melted, so at the bottom of this years pile there is still ice from 2012. I don't expect that will be of any comfort but it kept me off the street for a few minutes.

Nope, only what stays in the gauge. With rain, we only say it was a hard rain if it rains, bounces up a few feet, then falls again.
