Did we just become best friends.

This was the only acceptable response

When I get bored, I cook and eat lol.

Yup

but its so fluffy, snowblower can tear through it even at full speed

Same, we lucked out and were in the very fringes of the icing, so the snowblower did the trick just fine. We got a little over a foot here but drifts two to three times that. All done digging out, wish I had @joeyshin 's resolve to head back outside for a smoke but I'm toast. Cheers gents.

The Amish in Pennsylvania get pretty wild in the snow. See for yourself

We got as predicted, 12-15", nothing crazy. Still snowing here but I wouldn't call this a "storm" for these parts. Fun to see all the pictures.

What you lake-effect snow people experience is truely something else. Here in Pittsburgh we get what the news likes to call lake effect snow. However, the first time I experienced true lake effect snow up in Erie made me realize the news can no longer be trusted.

Last year around Thanksgiving we got 4 feet of lake effect snow. 10 miles west of us got nothing.

Lol, it is funny. We do get amusement when a little snow falls in some places that don't typically deal with this and it turns into a mass freakout panic event. These are the fun times of winter. I'd rather deal with snow than floods, hurricanes, tornados, earthquakes, Florida (in general Florida is a natural disaster), etc.

Agree with @ThinkingFold. We get a foot of snow once a decade in Pittsburgh. And it's a normalcy in erie and Buffalo.

I have had to ride back home from Buffalo many times for my kids ice hockey tournaments in white out or icy roads. F that stuff on a regular basis.
The summers up there are unbelievable beautiful. But hell no for the winter treachery.

Guess I am going out again. Annoying, but could have been worse.

That's some nice shovel work.

I shoveled the driveway in the afternoon, and the walkway twice. Now it’s got a thick layer of ice that I can’t really get through. It’s less than a foot, but still enough to close everything today. Hopefully they plow our street today today.

Shot out the back yesterday.

How often has it snowed wherever you are in Texas, out of curiosity?

 

[PlaidDragon]

Not quite once a year.

It's probably more in Dallas and the panhandle.

We got 0.1 inches of ice. Area is paralyzed. School, mail and trash pickup cancelled. Even POKER is cancelled tonight.

Feel free to laugh at us -=- DrStrange

Texas!

A good foot here in NJ. Peaches is laser focused on my shoveling efforts. Pictured here checking a neighbor's work yesterday. Rain or snow, she's still the neighborhood watch.

 

[joeyshin]

I lived in Raleigh when this happened a few years back. I remember it was only a couple inches but it was mass dystopian panic.

 

[ChipFinderSK]

Back is killing me today, but I’m glad I dug out last night. My neighbors are struggling with the layer of ice on top of a foot of snow.

Same here. Shoulders are killing me but have a massage scheduled for tomorrow!

Looks like a problem for tomorrow Barrie&Kids.

This is exactly how I imagined it lol

I’d rather deal with 3’ of snow than 3’ of water. At least the snow tends to stay outside.

Preach!

done
2 hours last night, 2 hours today
not sure what would have been easier,
doing it all at once with the sleet layer on top,
or chopping that damn sleet layer with snow on top off the ice-magnet pavers like I had to do today
either way, my back is killing me now

I dunno, but you get two enthusiastic thumbs up

I'd take a foot of snow over .1 inches of ice any day.

About to sell a chip set to fund a snowblower for the next time this happens.

Two hours in and not even halfway done digging out with a shovel.
