Blizzard of '11

Here are a couple of pics from my office window.
Me and my brother are the only to people here to run the lab.
We will be leaving soon.

News just said 16.5" on the ground so far in Billerica. I'd post pictures of Arlington but it's so bright and white that it's hard to really differentiate anything.

I am apparently right on the rain line, I have about 6 inches of heavy slush. A buddy of mine lives about 5 miles north of me and has over a foot.

The best thing to do with a huge storm like that is, IME..... Enjoy it.
Drive slow if you have to drive, hunker down, and wonder at the power of nature.

what snow?

chachee52 · 01-12-2011, 10:23 AM

Heading out to run the snow blower. Just heard that I have to go in to treat 2-3 patients. Can't get a hold of one of them since yesterday. Wish me luck!!

We've got about 11 inches in Maynard

jesseboston81 · 01-12-2011, 11:29 AM

Heading out to shovel in a few. We have street-side parking, so the plows have pretty much buried us. This is going to be a chore.

Gophernut · 01-12-2011, 11:42 AM

Good luck to all of those affected by this storm. While no stranger to big snows here, I know it's not fun. Stay safe and warm!!!

20+ in hartford

massphatness · 01-12-2011, 12:49 PM

Entrance to the driveway is blocked by waist deep snow -- going out for the first round of shoveling.

I'm glad I saved all that money and didn't buy the snow blower again this year

OK - THAT officially sucked

Mugen910 · 01-12-2011, 12:59 PM

I live in State College, PA (right in the center of the state). We have gotten maybe a total of 2" all year so far. Georgia has had more snow than us.

jesseboston81 · 01-12-2011, 01:35 PM

Ridiculous! We have street-side parking, so it's essentially like a grocery store parking lot sized space (with extra room on the front and back) parallel to and connected to the street. It doesn't sound like a lot to shovel, but I'm just getting back in now. Worst part is that the plows push all the street snow right up against the side of the car, so the plow piles were halfway up the windows of our Jetta! Growing up in Wisconsin this isn't something I'm unfamiliar with, but it's always a bear to deal with!
