I just found our sidewalk....6th time in 20 hrs that I've had to look/dig for it!

But it's warmer this morning than it will be in the next few days...so shoveling's not bad.

I just turn the heat up... and stay inside. Cold out, with a brutal wind, aka, for Oklahomans it is cold at 19 degrees.

Moni

ok...you found the car, but how you gonna drive out of there????? LoL

We get a snow like that once every 10 years or so..at one time, never just accumilates to that amount. I can't even imagine..that much snow..every year!

jmc01: removing it once a day is enough.
Okla: 70 is 70, why turn it up?
jeaninwa: mash the gas and go.
terri: it starts to accumulate after this. If you've never heard of lake effect snow, you're lucky.

I'm doing the warm up break from shovel 7....the "moderate" temps are gone, gone, gone!

but at least new snow has stopped falling and the wind has died down.

I would like some here-just once! I kind of miss shoveling

OF, thankfully only heard or seen pictures.. :D

Glad we don't get that much snow!

For those who say they want, or miss snow, the door is always open, and there is a shovel at the end of the driveway. I hope it's 15 below zero, and the winds are howling. In 40 years, I have never heard a knock at the door to greet one of your smiling faces. All talk and no ambition. Sunbelt locations have an advantage, but I have seen snow in Florida and the hot California desert too. That hard earned vacation can sometimes chill out an adventure to anticipated warm.

O.F. -- Where are you? We also get that 'lake effect' snow when the wind comes down Lake Michigan. We almost missed our connecting flight to Maui due to weather at ORD. (Oh well, it's not as though DH's team was going to be playing in Green Bay Sunday!)

The part of Indiana on Lake Michigan.

One feature that my car has that I know will never get used --- the heated windshield! Turn it on and the windshield heats up to melt snow and ice...

Ok, if we go to Lake Tahoe in the Winter I might use that feature.

omg old fixer..you get the double whammy of snow, then lake effect, as well...ouch! somehow Detroit is in this zone where we get snow north or south, but only ft where I am...funny about what you said about the heat...I too had the thermostat at 70, but when we got that frigid drop, there was no way it stayed anywhere near that...(we have baseboard heat) so I close the door to my office and stay there all day...I finally removed a section of baffle to expose more heat in the lr...
