Still snowing. Only 8 inches.
First time the phone ever went out!
No DSL for a few hours. Did you miss me?

Still snowing. But light flurries that won't add anything more to the 26 inches dumped in us. I got my walkway shoveled out. I didn't touch the car though. I can't go anywhere anyway until the drive is plowed. |

| thats a lawn mower to right? Do you find it can be a bit under powered if you get to much heavy, wet snow? The height (at least how it looks in the video) of the opening looks some what short...how tall is it really?

This is the part of the storm aftermath where I get to sit inside and listen to the incessant wheel-spinning of the people who think they can get their dinky little non-four-wheel-drive cars out in spite of the fact that our street is almost completely impassable. So far this afternoon three different cars have gotten stuck on the street (which means that plows and sand trucks can't get through either). And that's just the ones I've seen from the livingroom window.

| So were cops in my town, having a police scanner for events like this pay for itself 10 times over. The dispatcher was asking the cops if they could get to certain parts of my town which was a no except for the center of town, if you wanted to rob a bank all you would need is a snowmobile lol. |

It's actually a "jack of many trades": »www.husqvarna.com/us/products/ri···22t-awd/ It's got plenty of power: 22hp B&S powerplant and AWD.
It's deceiving because of how much snow hit the ground... it's a bit over 2 feet from ground to the top of the blower housing (and 42" wide). |

kudos:1 | Hammered as far as I know. Northeast corner got 24-30", with some isolated spots higher (and then snow drifts to infinity  )
I know someone in northern RI... and they got over 3 feet without the drifts...  |

My daughter is finding out that Boston doesn't quite react to a couple of feet of snow like we do. They wanted to go sightseeing yesterday (reminder they are at a motel in Wakefield) as they had an extra day because the concert was pushed back a day. They wanted to go to Salem but couldn't get much further than a mile or so from the motel so they turned back. I believe they have their Netflix account smoking by now. Fortunately I installed a Tonido Pulg2 back last summer so they can access all the files from the motel.
Edit - the pic is their rental car. We (Syracuse) only picked up about 8" so it's just another day.
From what I can tell they are very happy to be there and everyone they have met has been helpful and kind so a big thank you from me to all of you!
