Who here got snowed?

We got a tad over 12" yesterday, the snow wasn't so bad but the drifts were 6' in places. I had to blast my quad down my driveway at about 30 MPH to get through. The snow in the roads was a solid 8" 10" all day.

Back to the quad I went to make sure a little old lady neighbor was OK and while I was talking to her she asked how I got there I said "do you see those handle bars stick out of the snow?"

I just helped my dad dig out the cars. Except my SDL, rwd cars are useless in this kind of snow so it got the nice warm garage. We got at least 12-15 and with these temps it isn't going away for a long time. Temp -5 with windchill, 13 without it.

We had it light in central Ohio, just a few inches. It made things really fun for our Ram 4x4.

We got two straight days here, over a foot. My new barometer told me it was coming with about a 10 hour lead. First couple times my shoulder predicted the weather I took more Motrin thinking it was just pain from physical therapy but after four snows 8-10 hours after the ache starts I'm starting to learn to read the signs. I'm still not supposed to be using the arm yet but I had to dig out the past couple days so I could run into town. The 560 with Blizzaks handles a heavy dump like this with ease...easy on the gas and gentle with the brake. I see the surgeon on Tuesday for my 3 month checkup, I'll tell him I worked the arm, hopefully we won't get too PO'd.

It was kinda neat to see the snow plows out in a 4-truck formation tryig to keep the roads clear last night. Unfortunately they weren't on my side of the road.
