Who Else Is Getting Ready for Yet Another Nor'Easter Snow Storm?

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.

Our street has been plowed, but it's still slippery.

Filled the bird feeders and we have a lot of visitors!

The big dig is done!

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!

WOW - clear roads!!!

Those pics don't really show how steep that incline is up to the main road tho.

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.

It never rains, but it pours - or maybe that should be, it never snows, but it blizzards.

I've been following this thread and I'm so glad that none of you lost your power and that everyone survived this horrible snow storm. I used to live in PA many years ago and then I grew up in S.C. so I know a little about snow but I was young and didn't have to drive in it. We've been having rain and wind here. Hopefully you won't get another big snow storm any time soon.
