We have about a foot and it's still coming down. Strong winds, lots of power outages in the area. Officially a blizzard.

Gus, your in Up State NY, which means you don't live in NYC, correct.

Absolutely correct. I just took a picture of my deck after shoveling out the front of my house - will post in a few minutes when I get to my pc.

Gus? Did you ever get back to your PC?  ???

Still snowing here. About 8" so far but high winds have caused lots of drifting. Should be a fun drive to work... after I clear the driveway first...

Well... a hour and a half to clear the 2 ft of snow from my driveway and front walk... did I mention drifting? We're on the outside of a corner and all the winds meet in my front yard. We get all the neighbourhood trash, garbage cans and even the occasional Christmas tree....

At least my new snowblower works.  :bd:

Still not at work though.... my street is as deep as my driveway... :P

I really enjoyed how there was just enough sleet at the end of the storm to put a thin crust on the 18 inches of snow. Making it 50 times harder to shovel.  O0

Yeah... we got lucky with it not changing to sleet or rain and just continuing to snow.

Fucking hell - it was 24° out here at the bus stop today!


Bone dry, mind you, but 24° and windy still sucked.
