The Big One! [blizzard Of '16]

We're up to 18.5" here...

I can't imagine 18.5" . We get any snow and it's a Snow Day! and schools close.

Still 9 more blizzard hours to go, here's the kids making an igloo.

This is how the roads get cleared in my neighborhood

We had an 8N growing up... plowed a lot of snow with that thing! My dad finally replaced it with a Ford diesel a few years ago. It's about a 1983 or so... and has a Perkins diesel. Nice tractor.

One weather guy said "We can easily see double digit snowfall. Even more in some areas."
I don't think he understands how digits work...

Well, unfortunately, in the midwest, triple-digit sized snow drifts ARE possible -- rare, but possible, and only if there's a pretty brisk breeze blowing.

.... our daughter's boss informed his department that he was going to take his computer and work from home today .... however, everyone else (mostly women) were expected to be at work on time and to stay all day .. ..

Someone had best remind said boss that if he feels threatened enough that he isn't coming in AND he requires his help to come in AND one of his help is injured in transit THEN said boss may very well have opened himself up to a lawsuit for reckless endangerment.

At the risk of getting a " that's what she said " reply , we got about 10 inches ......

I cannot POSSIBLY see how ANYONE on this board would DARE to stoop so low as to make that kind of pop cultural reference! The VERY idea!

I think he's counting the digits on both sides of the decimal point ........

Well...still have power. The only living thing in the house that has been outside is the dog. I'll be out there tomorrow after the snow stops to begin the process of clearing the sidewalk and driveway.

I seen videos on YouTube of trains plowing the tracks out there, and some of them drifts are impressive.

Snow has finally stopped here. No power or net failures. They said the snow wasn't nearly as heavy as they predicted, thus the power should say on.
