WOW! Must have been bad wind for the snow to pile like that in the drift. Did the W140 get out?

we used to get snow like that here in indiana on a regular basis.

it is fun, although in some of the outlying areas it can occasionally be life threatening.

thanks for the pics!

Damb, I sure wish I lived in Colorado.

We got screwed again in Illinois, it recently rained alot here so much that I found a mouse drowned in my dogs water bowl outside.

Why didn't I see any pictures of snowblowers? Perhaps everyone was too busy playing in the snow.

That snow is nothing. I have had to wade through waist high drifts in my area. Some mountain areas got over 40".
