The snow has not let up in roughly 30 hours. The mounds of snow shoveled from people's driveways are now several feet high. Residential streets -- if they have been plowed at all -- have been narrowed to one lane.
I shoveled snow higher than my knees this morning, then snow above my ankles this afternoon when I got home from school, and another couple of inches had fallen by the time I arrived home after an evening outing.
I noticed a tree in the backyard that really needed to be shaken free of the extra weight, lest it collapse, so I trudged into the yard with a rake. Afterward, I measured to where the snow came on my pants: just over 2 feet. That's quite a bit for one storm.
These are the kinds of storms I remember from my childhood in the 80's.
ReplyDeleteI'll stop complaining about all the rain we've been getting. Much better than snow.
ReplyDeleteI just measured the snow at my house, just down the hill a little from you. I've got 18" (.46m), and it's still snowing, although very lightly. Quite the storm.
