We've easily got 2 feet... maybe more. The drifting is incredible. I went out at 10:00 to attempt to plow. Got my truck stuck plowing down the driveway in a drift easily 4-5 feet deep. She's beached there and I have no idea what I'm going to do come morning. The drift at the back gate was almost to the top of the fence (42"). I literally just stepped over it and trudged out to the driveway. And for the first time in my life I witnessed first-hand what a full white-out is like. I was within 25-30 feet of the house and could NOT see it through the blowing snow. :eek:

Needless to say, with my COPD/emphysema I'm not able to deal with the cold air and run out of breath quite easily. That happened while trying to dig out the truck. Barely made it back to the house and my wife was about ready to kill me (but refrained because I couldn't breathe). The rest of the weekend ought to be interesting...

I hope we oblige, but we beat SLU yesterday in Canton and now face Clarkson in Potsdam. We have made that trip every year except one since 1951-52 and have swept it I think three times. (One year we went there on two separate trips because Harkness felt that CCT and SLU had too big an advantage playing only one game on that weekend, but it didn't work either. Now at least they also play Union.)

Well, best of luck the rest of the way. We'll be cheering for you.

Not sure I can get a door open so I can let the dog out, not sure he will go if I do get the door open. All 3 doors have snow 18 inches up them

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #161: Needs More Wub

How can we have no thread on the Great Blizzard Nemo? They didn't even print a newspaper for today! I fixed that. Now we have an Eastern Bias weather thread.

I'd like to know how they measure with the winds we were having, but it looks like all the surrounding towns here are reprting in the 24"-28" range. I have my radio scanner on and the city of New Haven has the National Guard running around with heavy equipment to clear roads and dig out emergency vehicles. In another town close by they used a bucket loader to get to the door of a house and carried the person back to EMS in the street.

My plan is to have the wife help me dig out from the back door to the garage and then see what I can do with the snow blower. I think that will be an exercise in futility... It may be spring before we get out of the yard! :eek:
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #161: Needs More Wub

Wow, there is a **** ton of snow out there. And it's still coming down.

We plan to chuck lil out the window and let him dig toward us. He doesn't know of this devious plan pecause he is still sleeping.
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #161: Needs More Wub

Yikes! Good luck to those snowed in!

HHT last night, of course. We had homemade pizzas as we watched the pregame. Found a recipe for gluten and yeast free crust and it was pretty dang good.

Jr will miss tonight's Gopher game as he has gotten 2 jobs to work games at our tourney (if you can't make your required task, you can hire a kid to do it and he volunteered for $25 a game).
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #161: Needs More Wub

Even though Armadillo and I have no tickets to tonight's game, we decided to make a Val's Rapid Serv run today because crackfries. Silly? Yes. However, carpe diem!

Are we supposed to know what that means?? :confused:

The wind picked up all of a sudden and it looks like the snow is coming down even harder. Yeesh. The T is closed all day today as well. Thankfully I still have power. Keep your fingers crossed that remains the case. I do not know how they're going to play the Bruins game tonight. It's already been delayed from 1pm to 7pm. It may be in front of no fans. I hope the team stayed in town.

I think we got a good 2' as of about 8:30 this morning. Hard to tell with the drifting but there is a table in the pool area and there is a mound of snow on it that looks like it's easily 2' high. My car may wind up in that garage till tomorrow at the earliest.

Most WCHAers know. Sorry. :(

Favorite part of the summary:

I've been studying a bit of french language lately. One tip I learned is regarding food and eating and the nuance of talking about it. How do you know when to say "je mange des frites" instead of "je mange les frites" I wonder? Well, I'm told "des" means you're eating fries, but "les" means you're eating all the fries in the world. I think on Saturday, I manged les frites.
