the ******** who plows snow up against all the cars is out in our parking lot now, i am waiting for him to leave before i clean off my truck and car. THEN...i am going to sit and wait for the jerk to remove their vehicle from my nice clean spot so i can regain control of it.

you would love the way this guy plows....angle the blade towards the cars, that way the most snow packs in under and stacks up in front of the cars. also, stacking snow is not a concept he comprehends, because the snow piles he is building are growing in diameter but remain 2' tall.

That sounds like the best kind of snow plow driver ever!

I don't know about you guys, but I have 23". The dog had a wee bit of trouble navigating, as it was up over her back. It appears I'll be staying home.

My dog is having a blast, but even he is a little overwhelmed by the amount of snow.

so i just had to go dig my truck out, and chain up to the plow truck and pull him out of his failed attempt at stacking. i moved my vehicles and let him "plow" my spots. i still had to shovel.

its coming down here about 3" per hour.

i am going to give it some time and i will probably head out to shovel my parents as well as my inlaws out.

Well it is half way up my deck railing.
I would say some where around 20"-24" and still snowing like CRAZY.
The radar looks like it has stopped in New Haven and west.

Looks like I am probably up to about 18" or so. Not showing signs of slowing. Probably another 2 hours of heavy snow for us in Middletown by the looks of things.

Tina was out "helping" by attacking the shovel.
Oddly, even without any real fur she just has a blast in the snow.

The sun is out here and we got no more than 16"

I said it once I'll say out again. If anyone wants to get plowed out instead of shoveling I'm available
