The snowbank ate my SVX
So we got a little bit of snow last night. Pictures:
We figured the easiest way to get things done was to clear some snow at the end of the driveway and then pull the cars out and clean them in the street. Here we go! She's free!! Once the car was clear I went for a spin in search of unplowed roads. I found one that had at least 18" of snow. Backed up, took a run at it, lost all vision from the flying snow...came out the other side just fine. What does it take to stop this thing?!?

Holy Snowballs Batman
Wow, I havent seen Snow that deep in thirty years. The famous Blizzard of 78 buried us in about 30" of Snow, with drifts as high as 10 feet. I dont envy you thats for sure. I used to pray for Snow back when I was in grammar school, about 30-35 years ago. Dont get me wrong, I do like some Snow, but I hate the mess on the roads and trying to keep the salt and sand off my cars. Anyway, that still looks like fun.

Yeah, but we got a record 32ft + up in the passes. I went to Moses Lk last week and the burms are still 10ft high thru the pass.

We saw about 2", normally we see about 2+'. Think it's time to move a bit further north.

That storm was crazy! We got 6.5" in an hour and by the end had about a foot and a half on the ground I suppose. We've nearly broken the record for most total snowfall here. So far this winter we've gotten nearly 11 and a half feet It's insane.

Man, I've been raking leaves and running the lawnmower today. I think that we got about 1/4th inch of snow this year and it's up to about 60 degrees. I don't want to trade either.
