This is the 10th snowiest winter in the state of MA; as for NY maybe the Jets learn to play in the snow.
Ooops, I forgot, they are not playing anymore this season

I'm enjoying all of this snow. One of the joys of living in NYC is that I can fully appreciate snow as I don't have to drive in it.
I woke up to about 4 inches here just outside of Chicago, not so bad. But it's still snowing 
I am so sick of this white stuff!! Cleaned last night some 6 inches and about a foot this morning. No clue where I will put this stuff anymore.....
I am doing amateur archaelogy on my front yard. I can tell by the layers which storm was which layer. I will post pics shortly.
Jim:
This morning, my 4WD Envoy was hopelessly mired in the 16" we got in Philadelphia. When I realized I couldn't move it, I knew that for safety reasons I needed to stay with my car. So, in order to conserve my strength, save fuel and stay warm I shut it off, locked it up, emailed my boss and went back in the house and returned to bed.
All seriousness aside, Jim, your advice is absolutely correct and we all should be prepared for being stranded. I'm surprised that with 4WD Hi full lockup I still couldn't move my car, even with digging. All-Season tires can't cope with this kind of snow.
Everybody: as an ER nurse I know that this is a "heart attack snow": it's wet, heavy and there is actually 1/2 TON of this white crap on a 10' x 10' pavement or driveway.
Stay warm and be safe.

That's a lot of snow for sureyou don't need that car anytime soon do you?
Yep- my bride drove it to work this morning at 8 am!
Had to sno- blow the street 275' to get to the main road to get her on the way,really happy about paying my taxes this season
.She shoulda just stayed in bed, 275' is way to much road to clear on your own.
Whew. Just came in from doing about 4 hours of snow removal. Enjoying a frosty cold Sam Smith's India Ale. It's hitting the spot. Might have to go up on the roof and do some shoveling if we get another storm this week.
I used the snowblower to make a path around the house so the dogs and children can have a track to run on. It's pretty fun. The snow is deeper than my three year old twins are tall!
The snow is so deep here that the wild turkeys are hanging out in my driveway. When they travel they're flying from tree to tree instead of dinosaur running. And instead of grubbing around on the ground for food, they're eating bittersweet up in the trees. Pretty interesting. I think I'll put some feed out for them. It's undoubtedly a tough winter on the wildlife.

New York has so much snow that even the gang members had to pull thier pants up !!!!
So it is written so it shall be, from this day forward NYC shall have snow so those gang members have to pull there pants up
Sorry Jim
Enjoy! And if anyone is planning a trip to rid the world of a meddlesome marmot, please let me know.
Frozen "cheeks" are no laughing matter.
It broke 50 degrees today for the first time in months. T shirt time!
My big fear now is actually a week of 50 degree temps that causes the snow to melt too quickly.
Im so sick of this weather already. The wife and I are thinking of moving to Florida.
Well, I did it. Went up on the roof this morning before work and shoveled. Last night I heard a couple of loud popping sounds. Most likely it was just normal sounds of a very cold night, but I wasn't taking any chances. I live in a contemporary cape. It has four different roofs. Two are pitched well enough, but two are definitely not designed to handle more than a 18" of snow.
I used a snow rake on one side, but on the other side there was literally 35" of snow. The sun just doesn't hit it and the way the house is constructed it just doesn't blow away. It was waist deep. If ever I was going to have a heart attack it was this morning...it wasn't just the shoveling that was killing me, it was pretty icy up there!
Tonight I am feeling fine about enjoying a nice Irisch Moos/Slant shave and a neat Knob Creek.
