HOLY CRAP!! The winter....has arrived...my build...is at a dead halt

WOW guys we got 16" of snow in a day. It was snowing from the night of the 17th, all day the 18th, now its still snowing and its the 19th. We measured last night....10.5" and now its at 17 haha. We are in for 3 more days of snow. Surprisingly there have been no wrecks yet haha. I got stuck....in my driveway....here is a video(yes I was in 4x4)



I was playing on a backroad(5 inches on the roads after being plowed!!:

most districts here have been closed all week. the citys can't keep their streets safe with 2 inches of snow. up here, they're using bulldozers and front-end loaders as snowplows to get the local streets clear

That pic was after a 45min drive, melted a bit but started adding up again tonight. Worst part is all the power is off... Tree limbs stressing under all the ice then falling on stuff....a man was even killed by one earlier

I'm thinking of building an igloo garage around my F250 so I can finish my alternator, return lines & clutch hydraulic repairs.
