Description January 23, 2016 - 11:00am
This was from this morning - before things got bad. . .  It has been snowing all day, and probably will not stop until around midnight tonight.
That is snow on top of a small garden table in the back yard.  That table is about 24 inches (61cm) high.
I shoveled walkways and around my car for 2 1/2 hours, and now it looks like I did nothing.
But I'm glad I did, because if I had waited until tomorrow, the snow would have been twice as heavy.

My hands are too cold to go out to take any more pictures, and in the back yard the snow is mid-way up my thigh.
Grrrr!

Eep! Crazy! Is it still snowing there? It's still going a bit here, though not nearly as bad as before.

Well dear, now Shovel-frenzy - Part 2 begins.  Fortunately, I had enough cash laying around the house to pay some kids to shovel out my car!

Haha, that's excellent. I thought about doing that myself. How much snow did you end up getting?

maxlake2 In reply to NekoPeorth [2016-01-25 16:31:06 +0000 UTC]

We got about 26 inches, but that doesn't count snow drifts. . .
My car is clean and ready to go, but the snow plow hasn't cleared my street, so I still can't go anywhere.

NekoPeorth In reply to maxlake2 [2016-01-26 01:13:13 +0000 UTC]

Wow, that's about what we got here. So much fun clearing off the cars, wasn't it? Haha. Glad you made it through with little trouble.

At the moment, here in the West Country, coming up to 10pm GMT, it's 52F. 
Looks like you're having a very hard winter, but here, I'm still waiting for winter to arrive

The depression that was Storm Jonas, is said to bring heavy rain & gales over the next couple of days.

We've had enough rain to last us the year The Land needs Winter to arrive, to freeze down to a depth of 6ins. for at least a couple of weeks, to kill off all the invasive bugs & diseases that have arrived on our shores from Southern Europe & North Africa over the past decade.

Oh, dear God. That's...morbidly impressive, really. I'm almost glad that the storm missed us by a long shot...almost, but not quite.
