Wow, that's a lot of snow. I'm not a shoveler, so I could never live there. I don't even understand how you get your door open to get out there and shovel :confused:.

I hope you don't have to shovel too much.

I'm not a shoveler either!! Hah!!

My landlord does it. That's him in the top pic standing in the street with the shovel. That stuff is practically waist deep!!!

Thanx.

Doen't look like much on the tops of the buildings. The bulk of it is on the ground!

It's getting brighter outside!! Like the sun is about to come out. If it does, then it'll be blinding against the snow!!!

Sunglasses will be needed!!! Save those pics for the summer when it is blazingly hot outside!!! Hah!!!

I wish I had taken some Sherm. I have the sidewalks cleared and helped out two of my neighbors as well. We got about a foot in Wayne NJ. Up by you got a bunch more.

Cooksie - Snow bloweer with electric start makes much of the pain go away. LOL. After you are done, hot chocolate with a healthy cut of Kaluah and some whipped cream on top and looking at the beautiful white helps.

In practicality, doors open in boots get you to the shed, sunglasses and a warm coat (a few layers) gets the deed done. Nope! I am not really a winter person, snow just happens and if is by far not the worst thing that can happen.

Lots of snow in the mountains but not down here in the Valley. Right now it is 50 with clear skies.

We barely got enough to plow except where it blew and drifted. Was a bust around here and I am glad.

Here are some of mine from today.

In the first picture, I stuck my arm out the door at 6 a.m. Blurry, but those two mounds are my car on the right, and my neighbors car on the left.

Then I took a photo after I shoveled for several hours. The white lump to the left of my car is my neighbor's car.

We lost power for a few hours. The dark photo shows a friend at my front door, and the white mound outside my living room windows is snow.

Cooksie, I could not get my front door open. The snow drifted way up on our side of the street.

A really nice neighbor, someone I didn't know, on the other side of our street, saw all the snow piled up against the doors on my side. He came over and shoveled us out, 8 of us, enough so that we could open our doors.

We are going to pitch in and get him a gift card, since he wouldn't accept money from any of us.

That is another reason I like having snowmelt in the back porch. Back in 78 I had to crawl out a window to shovel the snow away from the storm doors so the wife and the kids could get out. Now the only shoveling I do is the greenhouse doors and if it is real bad I have to shovel to get my big sliding barn doors open for the skid steer. I shovel the sidewalk for my old neighbor lady when I plow her driveway.

Wow, Q-Sis, you were on the wrong side of the street for that snow storm.

I read something this morning that I didn't know, but most of you who live in snow country probably already know. If you spray your shovel with Pam Non-stick Cooking Spray, shoveling is easier. It was also mentioned to spray some piece on your snow blower, but I didn't understand that. I don't think I've ever seen a snow blower in my life.

Nice pics!!! We are told not to use candles if the power goes out. They suggest that we use flashlights instead.

Sadly, two people were killed from carbon monoxide poisoning after getting into the car with the engine on to stay warm!!! One of them was an 11-year-old boy!!!

Two small kids in East Boston almost met the same fate!!! Fortunately, their dad had noticed that something was wrong, went to get them out of the car in time, and their lives were saved!!!

Do not, I repeat, DO NOT sit in the car with the engine on until and unless you make sure that the exhaust pipe is clear and is not blocked with snow or ice!!! :wow:
