Blizzard Pics

Post them up if you have them.

These were from around 6 pm. We're supposed to be dropping 2" an hour overnight...




Normally I can see my neighbors house.




Yes, I know... not a Ford. However, my Jeep Cherokee is a sure footed little bugger.

You post a Jeep picture on a Ford forum?

j/k

Here's one I took out the back door, handheld at a second and a half. By no means a great pic but you can see the movement of the branches on the right and the rippled snow in the parking lot.

I'll have to take some more tomorr...er.. later today.

Pics or I don't believe you

A couple more from 2:30am...

Here's the small snow drift that's formed on top of my small shed.


Making up for the lack of Fords in my first post.

This is one reason why I stayed in SE Virginia. I'm over the winter blizzards and extreme cold.

Ha ha ha, I feel for ya guys in the south. While you guys get battered with the weather we up here in the far north are sitting at a balmy 50 F today. I can look outside the window and see the grass wanting to grow already, well almost.

It looks nice in picture with all the snow etc but I can only imagine what a PITA it is to live and work there when this happens.

Well we ended up with 16.5" of snowfall. They stopped plowing the streets from 8 pm to 3 am because of whiteout conditions. My neighborhood hasn't been touched by a plow yet... unless you count my neighbors ATV plow setup.

The Bay Area today at 67 degrees. I am so glad my parents left the East Coast when I was 11 years old for sunny Los Angeles in 1965...
