Well, yesterday as I got to work, it started to snow and by the time the day was done, we had 9cm on the ground .....drive home and dig out so I can get in the driveway.......then wake up in the middle of the night and see it snowing more.....up at 6 am to see another 30cm.........now this is winter !

This is yesterday (Tues) at 8:00 am......my car is the one on the left........
Image
........through the day it snowed more and more
Image
Image
.........and at 5:00 pm end of the work day for me, parking lot has been plowed and I'm off to go home......
Image

.........this is 0600 (Wed) and the sight of our deck under a foot of snow.........
Image
.........in the foreground you can see the deck railing with the effects of the deadfall snow.....apparently there was no wind in the night !
Image
...........and finally, out on the street, you can see Wendys car buried under the snow and to make matters worse, the plows had deposited a mountain of snow, to the tops of her wheels, ensuring a good bit of digging before departure for the days chores.......

Hi Rifleman,

If we had snow like this in Britain the whole country would grind to a halt, as soon as britain sees snow 1mm thick they cancel all the trains close all the roads and the supermarkets would look like third world countries on a harvest day.

Britain really is purely organised  :(

I wish we had snow like that in the UK! If the country ground to a halt then I wouldn't have to go into school!

Thanks for the thoughts B-Man, but we have had a second dump already, albeit a bit less than the first...the second one was only 8 inches and its almost gone now too...........
