Thanks. Looks like ice cream will be tomorrow, with Butterfluff.
I think the snow total was officially about two feet, though it stacked up funny in places 'cause it was coming sideways for a while, and some spots got more than the Official Measuring Spot did. On Tuesday, my car was covered almost to the tops of the tires, but we've had a lot of melting. Rooftops are still white, but a little black is showing at edges, for example. (A bunch of buildings in Baltimore have had roofs collapse, most notably the B&O railroad museum's wonderful dome, but also some houses (mostly abandoned ones I think), at least one office building, and a church that failed so spectacularly it'll need to be torn down and rebuilt, not just re-roofed.
What the plows piled up is going to take a long time to finish melting, of course. And last I heard, they're still plowing, trying to get side-streets open (when I drove around the block to get a fresh approach to the spot I rammed out tonight, one of the streets I went down was completely un-plowed and was as deep as my undercarriage). We don't have as many plows on hand down here as places that expect this much snow do, and the ones we have got Very Busy. This broke a century-old record for snowfall from a single storm.
BTW, it certainly felt like four feet, what with sidewalks still not being open most places, high berms made by the plows, and just how many things Shut Down. (Not quite half my side of my block has a cleared path on the sidewalk; the other half doesn't even have footprints.)
hmm. I think up north they are more used to it. it snowed 18inches awhile back. It stoped maybe around midnight. And by noon the next day things where pretty much back to normal. Though growing up down there I don not remember a plow shortage. But then again that was a long time ago and probly less effect from plow drifts where we lived.
On a related not we where driving into town the other day and saw them plowing the sidewalks. Which I had never seen before. It was this little cart with a little snow wedge on the front. It was very cute and very effective.
happy birthday
I hope u get the ice cream.
How much snow did u all get? It seems like from the truama caused u must have gotten atleast 4 feet but I doubt you did?
