Well, the Jinx is over and we are up to our thighs in reality.The Snow monster is ready for it's first run. My wife heading for work at 7:00AM and my Son at 6:00AM so I figure I have to start at 4:45. Since they are considered essential personnel I don't have much of a choice in the matter. It's a good thing I am off today and I'm loaded for bear. We are getting hammered down here in Central NJ and expect every bit of 2' I never had heated hand grips before, should be interesting. Expectations and confidence are high. 
How about them wussie Eagles calling off the game because of snow ????? They need an Ariens on their team..... I know, I know, Don't get your cackle feathers all up in a rough. It's because of public safety concerns. But being a fan of the Gmen I have to get a shot in on you turd birds any way I can. What we need is a new coach. Meltdowns like this are due to poor personnel management not the athletes. Too many fumbles is a sign of physical weakness and corrected for in the gym as well as on the practice field. No excuses. When the war is lost do you shoot the infantry or the general ?????

What happened to all the lovely snow we had?! It's been in the high 30's and low 40's and most of the snow is gone. None on the way either.  Getting colder again down this way and snow is forecasted for Friday into Saturday.

I'll send you some of ours ;-) My entire front yard varies from 5-8 feet high of snow. Of course a good part of that comes from the driveway being blown over it. How about some pics of that driveway of yours. I'd like to see those drifts. I put a good row of cedars on the windward side of my property. They're fairly tall now and don't get too much drifting anymore. From the cedars to the driveway is about 70 feet or so and when we get a wicked west wind for a couple days, it will build hard drifts on the driveway. Not very deep though, maybe 20 to 24 inches but hard packed. If I get that much of a drift with only 70 feet of fetch, I can only imagine what you'd be getting from wide open farm fields.

What a Pal!  We could use a couple of feet maybe a meter or two if it's not too much trouble.
I'd also like to see a pic of all that windblown snow. The farms in my area are pretty bad when the snow is powder but that's usually not a problem as heavy wet snow doesn't blow very far.
