It's an Upper Midwest Blizzard, so we won't get 1/10,000th of the coverage. We'll carry on our merry way.



I think your population hit is much lower in the midwest vs east coast. So it impacts far more folks and side effects hit many more people living in urban areas.

Are you guys getting thundersnow at all?

OVERKILL, are you sure you are in CANADA?! LOL, Looks like the blizzard of 93' where we lost power for 3 weeks, glad we had the hard coal stove, and well water. Generator was a definite plus.

Yeah you guys hit the jackpot. Its over here. They do a good job with the roads, should be ready to go in a few hours if the gov will let us drive.

Snow has stopped...generator running, haven't yet gotten out to clear the driveway.

This isn't just badly composed photography, it's just white everywhere. If I put "drift cutters" on my machine I'd at least see them poking up I guess.

Why do you have your roads floating in the air like in some old sci-fi movie?

Are you talking about when they go to commercial and cut to outside cameras? Your looking at the Zakim Bridge and other roads over the Charles River that enter and exit the "Big Dig". Tunnels under Boston that allow 2 major highways to pass under it with exits to various parts of the city above.

I'm in the path. But actually it's in the path of me. I'm pretty bad. Yep. Watch out blizzard of whateveryouare.

I should have snapped a photo of some of the car dealers.

We got lots of wind. The Subaru dealer you could only see the tops of the Subaru's as the cars(tightly parked) were completely drifted in.

[censored] day to be a salesman tomorrow.

Our Blizzard don't count.

We only got about 6-7", not that bad really. Eventually our luck will run out. The roads were bad on the way home.

That is I-87. On the bottom.

Not selling subarus.

Official number near me is 25". My wife's Easter Egg is completely buried in a drift!

Blarg. I hate winter!

 

[Mr Nice]

I can take cold temps but no way I could handle snow and ice.

We got about 7-8" here in Rochester. The roads were pretty messy last night, but not terrible, and people were dealing with it fine. Even with 5 - 6" down at 10 last night, I didn't end up needing to throw the Jeep in 4wd. They didn't bother plowing anything until this morning.

My parents got just over a foot back in CT, and some other relatives further up in CT got almost 3 feet.

This was last night somewhere on the I-87 around Albany.

This is what it amounted to near Sugarbush in VT:

Above my show but not too far over my ankle.

And this is what it meant today. A lot less powder than anticipated, but I'm not in good skiing shape this year so it may have been for the best.
