It finally stopped here around 7 last night. What a MESS!
We walked out around the house to clean out around our heat pump and it was up to my knees! We're never going to get outta here!
BTW, here is a pic of the big one in '96 when we lived in Balto. Kinda like what we have now, and what we never expected to see again.:rolleyes:

When I got home from work Friday, it started snowing. By Saturday morning, we had maybe 12" of snow! This is looking out my backdoor Sunday morning!:D

A few pics from Delaware............
A few more from Delaware:
Officially, outside of the Concordia buildings, the total snowfall is 22" of this ##@!%^%& white stuff! Thank goodness we have a great maintaintance crew ( and my hat goes off to them!!), to being out in this weather to try to keep the roads clear, b ecause a lot of times we have ambulances coming in and out. When I first looked out at the back parking lot everything was white and there were shapes that vaguely resembled cars!!
we didn't lose power here at all although we were prepared to. But all our wiring is underground in our neighborhood so we don't lose power too often. The worst of it hit overnight so I don't know how signal was during the night but during our waking hours we didnt' even lose satellite signal lol
So glad you all came through the storm without serious consequence.
I'm thinking I'd rather have the thigh-high snow, rather than the knee-high mud like they're having in southern California right now.
Just got done shoveling, scraping, and chopping up snow! We got Jeff's car cleaned off and running, his van cleaned off, but my Mustang will probably sit until spring.:rolleyes: Our street has been plowed, but it's still slippery.
Filled the bird feeders and we have a lot of visitors!:love:
The big dig is done!:D For those that have heard Ellie refer to my driveway, picture 2 is the main drive, and picture 4 is the small driveway next to our house. The snowthrower paid for itself! Picture 3 is the main road at the top in the neighborhood.
That first picture - is that your husband on your back deck - the place you were all sitting during the recent gathering?
Amazing amount of snow :)
That's exactly where it is - we have only cleared pathways up there. It's just too much!Quote:

Our very neighborly (NOT!!!) neighbor next door cleared his place out yesterday with his snowblower. Wouldn't it have been nice of him to offer the use of it to Steve today? Oh well - maybe some day he will need a favor from us.
Steve, DIL and grandson shoveled all day with about an hour break for lunch, and it's still not done. The driveway is 100' long and 2 cars wide, and they got to about 5' from the end and where the snowplow plowed it closed, so nobody can get out yet. Of course my car is all the way at the opposite end by the garage, and they never dug that out, so I'll be going nowhere in a hurry. Of course, I have 2 appointments this week that I'll have to reschedule. :mad: It never rains, but it pours - or maybe that should be, it never snows, but it blizzards. :p
getting ready for up to 10 inches to start falling sometime tomorrow in Chicago
