There's very little visibility out the windows right now. No way to tell the snowfall total anymore, it's all over the place.
I've got some plywood to run my gen under if I have to, but so far power is good (crossed fingers).
Last time we lost power I stoked the woodstove until it was over 90 in here, that seemed to do it.
Didn't lose a single fish (cat at one the following month.) :/

Some dude in a pickup just showed up to plow our street. Our town doesn't have town plows anymore, we hire these small contractors, evidently. I'm sure there's no nepotism going on or anything.
Guy made 25 passes with his little pickup plow in one direction down my street. I counted.
25.
I can't possibly believe that the 30 minutes (nearly) he spent on my 300ft dead end road is cost effective for the town over a town plow. Not a chance.
He left me a nice 3.5 foot bank at the end of my driveway for morning. Can't wait.

at least 18" inches here. It was up to Mike's knees.

At least a foot in Thompson as of now, maybe a bit over a foot but the power is still on and everything is still running smoothly here. I may be in for a world of hurting tomorrow but I'm not gonna break out the snowblower until it stops snowing. Probably a mistake but it is what it is I guess, lol

Forget the snowmobile, I want a snowblower. I just spent two hours shoveling and I got the walkway from my front door to the driveway (only about 10' long) and about halfway around our cars. It's going to be a long day.... better get started on some beer muscles soon.

Unofficially I measured 18" of snow, but we had about 2 hours of sleet last night as well and it is still snowing.
Going to eat a good breakfast then start up the snowblower to start digging out! Figured it should take at least 2-3 hours, or at least that is my hope.
Be safe everyone today while digging out!
