Re: Midwestern BS'ers -- how you guys doing?

We ended up with 13 inches over night, 15" inches overall. I woke up to 3 foot drifts in the driveway and my neighbor stuck in his driveway, he fell off the drive while plowing. I got dressed went over and pulled him out and plowed my driveway while I was out. Most of the in town roads are fair but most of the out of town roads are closed, some with drifts up to 12 feet high. Now it's time for breakfast and then off to plow my parents.

We officially received 9.1" of snow here in Topeka. The winds blowing 20-35 mph spread it all over the place. A lot of it settled in front of my garage door. This is what I woke up to @ 5:30 this morning:


You can a bare spot next to the fence on the left. This is where the wind has done me a favor and removed the snow. Unfortunately, the wind did not do me a favor on the other side of the drive. The drift on the right is about 18" deep. I had to shovel a bit to get to work this morning. My driveway is about 120' long....

Here's the screamin' Neon (the tag on the front reads AMMFPB. Ask me later & I'll enlighten you to its reference) after I dug out about 30' of driveway. Any more of this white stuff and my van will disappear!

Its not near as bad as they made it sound like it was going to be here, I can still see spots of grass in the yard, but I think that is because the 40mph winds blew it into the next county!

maybe 4-6 inches of snow? it's the damn half inch of glare ice underneath that's screwing things up though. our "gravel" road, usually great traction, you can't even stand straight up on it - it's so slippery.

It's odd, east of here they got a lot more than we did. But, it's VERY cold and windy this morning. Whole neighborhood stayed home. I need a cab on my tractor - and maybe heat!

I may sound a bit smug as I tease you guys about our weather, but seriously, I hope all are OK. Having lived thru too much of that for more years than I care to count I know what it's like.

Looks like Chicago got whacked pretty good. Heard part of the roof at Wrigley got ripped off.

You all ok?
