Tropical break.
We barely have anything, maybe 3-4 inches? Definitely not enough to justify the crazy gas lines yesterday!
so you would rather have 2 feet of snow? go figure
Really? looks like closer to a foot on my balcony!
Managed to push the door open just enough to slip my wife and a shovel out to clear the door area out. Thank heaven for little women. I'm going to have another cup of coffee before I go destroy my back.
We probably got 25-30. Snow drifts 4' or higher. Thank god for snow blowers
There is a car under there
What do your neighbors use to keep the snow off the roof?

My neighbor's son (I call him Mr. Useless, the Non-Wonder Boy) got their snowblower running after a fashion. He then tried to shove a 12" deck into 2+ feet of snow and kept stalling it all day long. Fires it up... *whump*... *sputter*...silence,... *F$%K!* Lather-rinse-repeat for 5 hours. Damned near gave everyone in the neighborhood carbon monoxide poisoning, but did very little else. You can smell the clutch burning down the block, but he doesn't seem to be aware of this.
My wife and I cleared our driveway (twice as large as our neighbor's) with shovels and finished up about half and hour ago. The neighbor is *still* screwing around with the snowblower. Some people sure enjoy being miserable.
Hope you are all well and not miserable.

Too f-ing funny. Spent 5 hours outside with the neighbors - got my driveway taken care of plus two others. Had a couple Brown Suggas afterwards. Kids outside all day sledding and playing. Chicken soup going on the kitchen stove. My ass is firmly planted on the couch at this point. Still some work to do on the back deck and the driveway (wind's been piling up drifts again), but that can wait until tomorrow. Definitely not miserable...in fact, quite satisfied with this blizzard experience.
Checking in from Hamden, the winner of the snow sweepstakes. Apparently, we had the highest total snow at 40" here. I don't doubt it. We had a crazy amount with insane drifts. Plows are not powerful enough for the amount we got, and the town has a total of 4 payloaders. My road isn't lowed except for where my neighbor dug us out this morning (he's in construction).
We're all safe and in decent shape. Last night sucked though. My snowblower picked up a doormat and I blew a shear bolt. Didn't have a replacement and the worst of the storm hadn't even started. Luckily my neighbor had a bolt that fit. Lifesaver.
Been drinking homebrewed porter all night. Feeling good...
