Took an hour to shovel the driveway this morning. Don't even know if I'll be able to get out of it. Snow on the street is pretty deep. What a steaming hot cup of awful this wet snow is.

I know what you mean.
the snow has stopped here, more or less.
my friend is dropping by to give me a laptop to tinker with. At least I will have some to do, besides watching movies and surfing the net.

Yeah that stuff is a pain to shovel too, it's like 2x as heavy as normal snow.
being buffered by the Great Lakes makes wet snow more common here.
I like it when its really cold and snows. Its much drier and easier to shovel.

What a mother f**king mess. I'm at work with shoes off cause my leather boots are soaked, as are my socks.
The wet snow is worse than snow because it's creating dams along the sidewalk, so there are 1-4 inch deep ponds everywhere people haven't shovelled. It's even worse in the 'burbs because the tractor sidewalk plows have been through once (tire tracks) and there are still ponds.
Luckily, the buses and subway are running on time. Unluckily, the effing walk to the subway took way longer trying to avoid the puddles. Then I remembered the wrong bus schedule, so missed a bus by 30 seconds -- was at coffee shop since next bus was 20 minutes off.

Transit works AMAZINGLY well on snow days because everyone else is having a snow day. I swear, everytime we have a snow day, I get to work in record time.

Shoveling my driveway this morning was brutal. Fucking wet snow. We ended up getting about 7 inches in all.

Nasty. 7 inches of normal snow, not so bad. Wet snow? screw that! Guess the good news is, snow does not really stay on the ground for you guys right? So you just have to make a path big enough to get to work that morning and it's gone within a few days? Or does it actually stay?
depends.
right now its snowing here again. The trees look kind of pretty with snow on them.
its only a little snow maybe an inch. not much more expected today.
