Before this storm they announced a 48 hour overnight parking ban to help with the clean up. Nobody is happy about that.

Wife is talking about going to work at noon. I'll be taking her, but I will have to see a plow first.

Hopin' the plowman cometh! This is why I was glad to escape Minnesota in '69. Our driveway was the distance in your photo to the vehicle and there were no snow-blowers and you had to do a path to the rear porch for the milkman and the front stoop for the newsboy who still put it 'twixt the storm door and front door...boy am I dating myself. We used to string resistance (heat) wire on the eave-ends (zig-zig) of the roof to prevent death-by-icicle My truckin' to Duluth days and recent trip to Pennsylvania during the (so-called) blizzard-of-the-century have refreshed my recollections of the wintry gulag! Hats off to you guys!
