12:43 pm now. There must be 16 inches out there and still comming. There calling for up to 26+ inches here. I got another 5+ hours left of this comming down. Snow blower died 1/2 way through. Lost the drive belt and nothing is open around here for parts. Spent most of it shoveling it. I am realy starting to hate the state guys plowing the end of the driveway in! I told the wife I am getting a plow and set both trucks up for it. Just in case one breaks down on me.

We're up to about 15" with drifts in my yard between 2-3' . I plowed with my quad this morning only to have all of my work disappear in more snow and drifts. Oh BTW it's still snowing

Hey fellow Mainer here (the deep south, Limington)! The storm is coming full bore at the moment with lots of wind and drifting....approx. 6-7 inches at the moment...just enough for my Ranger to get stuck in! lol
Love your Apple icon btw!

Now I have heard about this through some chatter in the winds...and through my own personal investigating I have also found out that while you are making the french toast...you are to preform the ancient right of head protection...This is done by wrapping your head in approximately 2-4 rolls of Toilet paper. This is also why you see these select few also purchasing TP.
I just thought you all should know about this before you go and criticize the "Special" people for buying all of these things before a major snowstorm. They are just getting prepared for the Party!!!

after France's reluctance to help in the last mideast crisis - French Fries and French toast have been renamed -they are Freedom Fries and Freedom Toast. Thought everyone knew - or did it just slip your mind??

i take back my previous statement about 14" its more like 16" with 3' tall banks from the plows. and i answerd my question about how good my truck does in deep snow, 4 wheel hi foot to the floor and out she came no digging just plowed right on through the bank and out into the road as a guy in a chevy plow truck with chains watched. in the process i blew a chunk outta my exhaust manifold where it had been cracking now there is a 2"X2" hole in it. i just got done pulling a 30ft tree off our garage roof. all in all im glad i have my truck nothin else we have coulda done that, but the god old ford took it like a champ.
