Default Snowmageddon!

12 inches so far, the back yard is drifted up to about 20.

Haven't heard a plane in or out of the airport all day. The roads are closed and the PD is issuing tickets to anyone caught on them.

Been running the snowblower every 4 hours. By the time I get done with the driveway, there's an inch down where I started.

Thank god it's spring

Chip, don't wait for it. As fast as this shit's coming down they wouldn't find me til June.

18 inches so far, and it hasn't let up yet.

Oddly enough, the impending avalanche on the second floor of the house in the background is still there.

Columbus got a record setting 20.5 inches. Old record was 15.something set back in 1910.

I had to go to Indy today for a win.

Yeah they have three levels, Level 3 being no one is allowed on the roads and they'll cite you if they catch ya driving. Level 1 means it's snowing, drive safe if you have to. Level 2 is like, you shouldn't be driving.

Officially 16 inches at the airport (about 2 miles from me). I've got 18 in the front yard and the back has drifted up around 24 in places. Air traffic has resumed. Haven't seen a plow come down the street yet. Guess I'll have to strap the snowblower to my front bumper if I wanna go anywhere

Cory, sucks that you had to miss the comp. Do you guys get a throw-out?

This is what the street in front of my house looked like last winter.

This is in Golden, Colorado!

The XJ was on 33" Swampers, the red Toy was on 34" Swampers and the white Toy was on 33" Swampers. All three truck drove out of where you see them sitting. The red Toy only had three wheel drive, blown birfield and the white Toy only had 2 wheel drive, blown front axle.

Now that is some snow!

Hope everyone is being safe and having a blast in the snow where-ever you are.

Our main roads and freeways are cleared. The city did a good job actually. They said some 70+ plows and 20+ contractors worked around the clock.
