jmc_bksIt's still snowing. Has been for more than 24 hours now.
This picture was taken at about 8am this morning; three or more inches have fallen since then. The big lump in the lower left hand corner? My car.
I shoveled my front stoop off, after struggling to just get the door open; my neighbor used his mini-snowblower to get a path (one person wide) cleared on the sidewalk on our block. Then I went out back and shoveled a path to the satellite dish, so I could clear it off and get the local news and continuing weather forecast. (How much more snow?)
The street is impassable. One brave neighbor cleared his Blazer off but was unable to get anywhere, the snow has drifted so high. The blind center across the way had someone out in a bear cat, hauling away some snow, but he's quit, after leaving a near mountain of snow built up in the middle of the street.
I'm thinking that the plumber is not going to make it on Monday.
And more snow, 3 inches or so, is expected on Tuesday.
Yeah, driving to a SuperBowl party tomorrow? Not going to happen. Instead, I'll slog my way to a neighborhood bar (assuming any are open) and watch the game there.
