How did you manage to lose 10cm of snow at those temps?

I was wondering that very same thing myself.
Compaction/sublimation?

Would be quite a bit for sublimantion, compaction of that amount
would indicate, light, fluffy, dry snow. Maybe the wind got up and
blew it away?

I have that problem for todays snow fall, where I clear around the
car I'd be pushed to measure 1cm but it snowed an awful lot more than
that but it's all been blow into drifts, some places are bare others
under 4' of fresh stuff.
