I see around 20 or more snow layers ... you get at least 20 discrete snowfalls in a couple weeks? I would have guessed over a month to get this many layers.

Probably not 20 individual snowfalls, but 20 days of heating up during the day and refreezing at night. Also 20 days of snowplows and cars passing and splashing slush on top of the pile.
