Ugh, over 15" of snow at my house, and still coming down at over an inch per hour, plus the wind’s been blowing at a steady clip. Over 30 minutes to clear off enough of my driveway just to get the truck out, and I think we missed out on the worst of this storm… :-\ – Stevo ---

Sounds like here in Colorado. I wonder how much the Goddess Danita has received Nancy dropped her car keys in the snow last night and can’t find them. I get to look today I’ve also noticed that nine light poles have been knocked down this storm. Blinding snow, icy roads, going down hill and going to fast. Happens every year, but I’ve never seen nine of them taken out in one storm. ID 10 T’s driving SUV with summer tires thinking they can drive like the commercials or professional ice drivers. Oh… most of the people here get to telecommute for work. I don’t because I might have to fix their computers. Uh… they gonna pay me to go to their house?

Then, supposedly, into the 60’s & 70’s starting Thursday, so we’ll see. On a good note, it’s been reported the snow packs up here are almost up to normal, so I guess all this snow this month has been a good thing, at least in the mountains. – Stevo ---
