About 17" snow since midnight here close to Putnam, including lightning and thunder. Still another six hours at least. Then the wind picks up so you're blinded when you go out to shovel it.
You get the end of the driveway cleared out, then the DOT trucks move past and push snow back into your driveway.
We give each other the official "one finger salute" ....
Nothing I can do about it ... so it's time for homemade buttermilk waffles, sausage, coffee milk, and a nice bowl of ambrosia. Thirsty? Try a "saint nicholas" - hot chocolate with some peppermint schnapps.

Y'all take care up there. Got some pictures from my sister (Boston) and parents (Smithfield, RI) and it's very deep wintery there.
Was -10f here yesterday, now it's a balmy 9f. We're at about 200% of normal snow pack. Looks like it's a big winter everywhere.
Just heard on the news that Florida is currently the only state without snow on the ground. You're the winner, Doc.

well it wasn't
It wasn't what youse guys get but 8-10 inches of snow is a major
storm in Pumpkintown. I even got to use the L.L. Bean toboggan
the wife bought me several years ago.

Re: well it wasn't
Hope you Yanks have well-stocked larders up there. Thanks to a strange high pressure ridge, we only got a dusting.
Winter is not over yet, but we dodged a bullet on this one. Thank goodness!
Be safe up there, guys . . . :thumbsup:

Re: well it wasn't
Well, it only took two hours to clear the dang driveway. Now we're just getting some light sleet and gusty winds.
A couple views of what I found when the sun came up:
End of driveway with the DOT plow's 5ft high "gift":
My first trip down the driveway with the mighty MTD 5hp 22" blower:
Two hours (and two gas refills) later:
Say, what equipment do you "up north" guys use to remove snow?

Re: well it wasn't
We got about 9 inches here in Morris County, New Jersey. Not a big deal expect I have about 200 feet of public sidewalk to clear. With a shovel, it'd kill me. I have 9 HP Sears snowblower with 28" swath, so no big deal.
<span style="font-size: 8pt"><span style="font-style: italic">..and yeah, I was curious about the blue thing next to the Volvo too.</span></span>

Might be a bit of overkill for a sidwalk.

For snow removal- only the best of the best.
Aubochon snow shovel and an 88 polaris 2wd- with two bags of crete on the rear.

On the way to NY fron NJ on the train I saw this hopeless attempt to escape a parking lot. Kind of hard to see but there were a single set of tracks to the car. shoved out a good car length in front of it only to give up and return the same way he came. Have to give him credit for the effort.
