Well here I am in CO.... and we are in the middle of a blizzard. I have probably 2 feet of snow in my driveway and some of the drifts are at least 4 or 5 feet deep. No way am I making it anywhere tomorrow. They sent us home from work today at about noon and my normal 20 minute commute took me an hour and a half! It was like night of the living dead out there. You could go for miles and not see another car then suddenly come around a turn and see cars stranded, stuck in feet of snow. This is the craziest storm we have had in years!! I came home and made a big pot of chili... the best on a day like this! This evening I had the BRILLIANT idea of taking my hubbys car out to the road to check the mail. Needless to say, his car is stuck in our field. The snow was so deep I tried to back up and go back to the garage in my tire tracks... no such luck. So there I was, in a tshirt, jammie pants and my slippers, stuck about 100 yards away from my house. I tried to open the car door and the snow was so deep it wouldn't budge. I pushed and pushed and finally got it open enough to get out. I stepped out of the car and immediatly sunk up to my knees (keep in mind I am wearing SLIPPERS and no socks) I made a running beeline for my tire tracks and ran back into the garage, running out of my slippers all along the way. I got back in the house and told my hubby what happened (apologizing profusley) and he just laughed hysterically at me. I guess it was pretty funny looking back on it now. I sure wish I hadn't done it though! Guess I'll be spending my day off tomorrow digging his car out. Fun times!

Just had to share! :help:

I am doing good... at this point just trying to dig out of this mess. We had to have front loader come and dig out our driveway today. I'll attach a pic!

Looks like a ton of fun! I bet you lost about 10 pounds just from shoveling!

Well, looking at the photos makes me feel a little sad. Here I am up in Toronto, Canada and we haven't had any snow yet! I haven't even started wearing a winter coat. The temperature has been in the 40s and 50s. It is definitely going to be a green Christmas.

Ah the wonders of El Nino, How are you doing now? You guys got hammered again I hear on the news tonite. I cant believe you had to get that heavy equipment to move all that snow!!! What is going to happen if you get a warm rain? I hope this last batch of snow isnt as bad as the first. Let us know, will you, and If we dont hear from you soon, Ill bet its because your power went out!

We care! and Im saying a little prayer too.

Here I am! We got about 10 more inches on Thursday and Friday. Hubby and I got out okay yesterday and did some shopping and stuff. The roads are fine if you can get out of your driveway.

Crazy stuff! We NEVER get this much snow! I am off to the Broncos game this afternoon... hopefully I don't freeze since I have lost so much of my insulation!

Just another 10 inches! I mean wow, ten inches would close down Seattle in a heartbeat. We had a mere 48 inches of rain in 06, and we usually average about 38. It just sort of comes in clumps like your snow. and when that happens the sewers overload and the streets flood. One poor woman was in her basement in a neiborhood that was built in the 40's. a combination of freaky things happened and the water flooded her basement and she drowned before the fire dept could cut through the floor. So tragic, I heard that 12 people were lost due to the last snow that went through. Glad your ok!
