It must have been a bit lighter out my way because I didn't do any snowblowing last night at all and it took me about 3 1/2 hours to finish up. Another thing that is luck, for me anyway, is that the dpw is right around the corner from me. I can see the town barn from my house, so my street is usually one of the first streets cleared. The only downside to waiting until it stopped snowing for me was trying to get through the 4 foot snow pile in front of my driveway from the plow trucks.

Still 59% of Waterford out. Took a week to get it back with Sandy but it was warm then. I guess I found the drawback of my nice, quiet neighborhood.

Just got home from work. My boss says the traffic ban didn't apply to gas station managers since we had to supply the plow guys with gas and free coffee!!

Boards are back up, and fast as ever. Snow plows still haven't gone over my street. It's a narrow 4-foot wide walking path cars can JUST get up and down. Spent hours shoveling out the car today! Is it summer yet?

There are snowbanks the size of several houses all over the interstate (84 at least) blocking lanes and half of most bridges. The snow can't be pushed off without closing (and then reclearing) the road below, but they need shovels and dump trucks to take it away, there's nowhere to put it.

Lanes suddenly end on the highway with no warning (except in on or two places where there are orange cones flattened into the side of the bank by multiple collisions), and today there's freezing rain.

This has caused about 80% of all drivers to slow down a bit. The remaining 20% seem to be trying to demonstrate their abject stupidity and or contempt for all life.

Well after clearing the house, and place of work, I finally had time to play. Was sideways (purposely) from Madison to Branford. This was like controlled chaos if that even makes sense. My shoulders feel like I went 10 rounds with Tyson. All my parents talked about was the 78 storm when I was born, now I had one to call them about. One for the books for sure.
