Ok I put on my long johns and went out to take some shots of the woderful wonder land that is my front door. Hey Joe, My snow is deeper then yours:)

The surrius radio started playing again I guess the snow cleared up the interference. My wife wants me to clean her car. I hope she don't think I'm going back outside. Oh wait, she's cooking pancakes;)...I gotta go. Which end should I start at:cool:

I got jipped last week end! It was our anniversary and we went to Gatlinburg. A big snow storm was hitting home friday as we left. We were thinking cool we might get snowed in in the mountains;). We get there and end up getting about an inch or so. Back home they got 8 inches. We didn't even get enough to make snow cream. We came back sunday and most of it was melted. Had a great time in G-burg though anybody here ever been there?

Man up here in the "Great white north"...not this year.;)...it's 65-ish degrees F, with sun and cloud.

Think I might take the wagon out for a spin.:)

What part of Canada are you in, looks like 52 in Vancouver is doing well, you must be somewhere warmer than this....

This same front hit us a few days back but it was the tailend, mixed with rain only about 6 in or less but each scoopfull was about 8 to 10lbs, or what I like to call heart attack snow....very wet indeed.

So since I am lazy I broke out the snowblower, it would only shoot it about 4 feet before plopping on the ground.

What a mess.

You guys be smart and don't overdue it.

Joe........how long did it take to drop that much snow.........amazing.......andyd in Oz

It started at about noon yesterday and went pretty much nonstop until about three this afternoon. The system isn't supposed to leave the area until about ten tonight, so there may be more to come. Another storm coming on Tuesday, I hear, and temps aren't supposed to get much above freezing for the next week or so, so we'll be living with this for a while.

Rodney,

I went through several of those storms when I lived up on "S" Street.

However, I had some great out-door clothing, and was able to walk everywhere. Aslo, had no driveway, etc. to clean off. I did not have a car, and my walk, including steps, was a little over twelve feet. Naturally, our power lines were underground, so there was never a problem with losing power during those storms.

I do wish you the best of luck getting through this recent event.

In these parts that would come complete with 40-60 mph winds and stack it in 20' plus drifts. Obviously you arent used to that much wind out there or those weakling trees would have been long gone,long ago

Sorry to hear about your snow Guys in The Mid Atlantic States.

We had a strom warning last night for Southern maniotba, but it's cancelled now, got about 2 inches of snow, and maybe another 1 inch of it today, but blowing from the north, which causes problems in open areas. Here are some pics I just took in my yard.........Fred PS stay warm, do not attempt to shovel all snow at one time, especially if your not in shape, take it easy, as snow shovelling is a major cause of heart attack, for people not in shape.....

also is a pic of my 73 John Deere snowblower, woprks good, it's a little small for my big driveway, but works

Very nice pictures. Looks a lot like the Caribbean. I think I might have told you guys that my father was stationed in Australia during WWII and he fell in love with it. He told stories about it for the rest of his life.

So anyway, you aren't missing anything here. We're the ones who are missing out, by the looks of your pictures.
