You too, sir. Hoping they're wrong about the magnitude of this one - don't need another '78 on our hands! Although it *was* hella fun, back then...

aye, take care, you people.

Stay safe.

Take care, everybody over there ... and keep yourselves nice'n warm ... ...

Eh?

Incidentally, 2' measured on the driveway; nearly 3' on the deck (not from drifting). Holy hell.

I have the vaguest memories of '78 (long enough ago that I think it was '78 ). I remember having to dig out a bit from our front door, and walking around outside, only to discover to my amazement that I was actually walking atop a neighbor's fence!

Another of my failed jokes. I should give it up, probably ... *sigh

Loads of energies for your snow shovelling ... ...

Take care dear HL's in NE America region
And please take a pic to show us if you can with the snows

Blizzard aftermath phoaties, as promised...


Driveway:



Front porch (couldn't get the door open); stairs are completely buried:



Back deck (couldn't get that door open, either) - note buried chaise:



Deck, again - the "hat" of snow on the picnic table was nearly 3' deep; the adjacent bumps are the top edges of the buried deck chairs:



Wheeeeeeeee!

has it finished?

Yes, the snow's done (for this storm, anyway), thank f*ck.

My back and neck are effin' done, as well. OWOWOWOW.

From the disappearance of your garden furiture, I guess you won't be dining alfresco anytime soon.

Flippin' 'eck!!

good to hear you are doing fine.
can you actually get out of your place, driveway, street, town?

Maybe put the christmas tree back?


Good to hear you're fine, it sure makes for nice pictures, but I can imagine it's not all hunky dory...

wow
hope it melts somehow without many effect and streets clear
And remember the southern moto: "The Spring Is Coming"

Hope theres no flooding risk for you once it melts !

I never really listened much in Geography at school, but I vaguely remember the teacher saying that most of the time the UK gets the US weather about a week later, assuming the usual westerly wind from the Atlantic. Hopefully not on this occasion. Glad to hear the worst is over for our American cousins.

I'd have been able to *walk* out (eventually ), but Dad had to spend hours out there with the snowblower yesterday and today in order to clear car paths out the drive. Neither one of us would've been able to shovel that much snow from the driveway, end of. Most of the neighbors here hire folks with plows - landscapers/maintenance guys/etc. - to clear *their* driveways when the weather's bad.

One of the town plows made a couple of messy passes up & down this street, but it's down to a single lane's width, and most of the neighbors' mailboxes are still buried about 8'-10' back from the road. They won't be getting mail for days, at the least.

I barely got in/out of my street, because the plow that did the main cross street left almost 2' of snow piled at the end, in the intersection. My sad little car took 3 tries to get back in (had to put the car in "winter" mode)! Everyone else in these parts (they're all richies) has a giant SUV, so it's not an issue for them...

The town's main drag was pretty clear when I ventured out a bit ago, but the side streets are still pretty treacherous, and the shops' parking lots are utter disasters, sporting 15' snow piles that can't been seen around and drivers who don't give a rat's arse! GRRRRRR.

I will never complain about the weather again.
(still taking the car to work tomorrow, its to cold to take the bicycle )

Impressing photos ... ... we had extraordinary much snow last year, but not THAT much ... and for sure not with electricity cut-offs as some suffer in America.

Hope your heating is working well, at least .... ...
