Where do you live ? I want to make sure I never move there.

Actually, I've lived in places where we had single snowfalls of 38 inches, 33 inches, and 29 inches. And when I lived in northern Japan, during one winter we had 339 inches of snow.

So I pretty much know how it feels. And because I do, I'm feeling bad for you right now.

D'oh!

Mine looks about like that now as it's parked on a city street and it's been officially "plowed" into place by the fine city employees. *shrugs* At least I don't have to be anywhere until Monday.

And at least they plowed so I can ride my bike if need be.

Excellent photo of your situation.

I cleaned the driveway off yesterday afternoon and again this afternoon. I think next year I'm actually going to get the garage sale snowblower I have working.

Mine works, but it's a wee Toro & it is really going to get a workout tomorrow. I think I'm going to slap a 15% pulley on it. I need more POWER !!!!

For Lil BAD.

I have to go to Dublin, Ohio for business soon. I hope all that "stuff" is gone before I get there.

I'm from Chicago. There are reasons I moved to San Diego..."stuff" being one of them.

'Spose to be Monday...but I changed that on Friday when peeps from our Dublin offices called at 9AM and said they were being sent home early because a blizzard was moving in, and the weekend was projected to be a travel nightmare.

I'll have to reschedule, most likely for week after next.

I just showed him the picture and he thought it was cool. He's been sick since yesterday and just woke up crying, so he's laying here on the couch next to me. He was jealous that I got to go "play in the snow" and he didn't.

Today was one of those days where I was very happy to have a garage. No motoring today.

Thankfully we haven't had much. Here is a shot I took of Soulfire and Cecilia before Jay got his baby in the "Lair"

Toronto can send you some!! My MINI and I have been hibernating the last few days. We've been hit with quite a storm that came up from the States and we're still digging out! We are just a couple centimetres away from setting a ALL-TIME RECORD for most snowfall in Toronto!!
