If I didn't have the Blazer, there is no way I would have gotten out. About half the people at the office called in today, all of them have little cars.

I was thinking about it whether even something with more clearance would make it through. I've got an AWD audi with new tires (all seasons, but still) and air suspension that I raise up another inch or so.
It was high 30s here most of Sunday when this crap was coming down and then it dropped to teens, so the bottom is frozen solid. I ended up having to jack up the car in the snow, dig out some of the snow and drop it down on 2x4s with bricks underneath to get it sitting a bit higher.

Yea...screw that. I just push the 4WD button, put it in reverse and go. Then text lil rudeguy to shovel the crap before I get home.

True but you don't hear a word from in the middle of July.God damn it, you do this every year!
It's around this time of the year that I just give up on driving in Chicago. Parking is such a PITA.

We had closer to 20 where I'm at. Thankfully, we didn't get any of that Southern Ice so I was able to make it to work. Finally getting some use out of the snow tires!

I paid some kids going door to door to shovel midway through the storm to hopefully cut my work in half.
There was so much wind overnight that parts of my lawn area are 2-3ft high. My driveway & sidewalk are a little shorter than they could have been, but overall the work was mostly covered.
EDIT:
However I can work from home whenever I need to, same with wife. So no biggie.

Have you seen his pool? I wouldn't be on the computer either in summer.

It was 60 degrees when I left for work this morning, rode my motorcycle in today.
It is 78 degrees here right now.

My snow fall is a foot below normal and they are forcasting great lake drop and drought. Plus idiots are still driving out on thin ice and through it.

Not worth it for the summer. But Jeeebus probably has several ladies fanning him and rubbing his feet.

No snow here.
It's been weirdly warm this winter.
Been a tad stormy and floody though.
Cool picture ... where is that?

This has been a really mild winter for us. Next to no snow on the ground, temps right around freezing. Not bad at all.
Then yesterday we got BLASTED. Had 24" in my driveway, looks like my work got about the same. I'm not sure what the official count is. The really bad part is its only 5F, so the salt isn't going to do anything for a while.
Here's my work. The tunnel is about waist deep.
Here's my work. As you can see, the motorcycle parking only is full up today.
Mine is the red one on the end next to the junky looking pickup truck.

Maps showed that between Kalamazoo and Grand Rapids, lots of snow got dumped ... I imagine 100 miles south of Rude, its probably even 6 or so inches deeper ...
From the weekend storm Sat night / Sunday, we got about 16 inches of new snow ... Im gonna need to use a rake or broom to get some of the snow off of the roof above the kitchen where I need to have better insulation blown into the attic ... cause otherwise it may cause pooling and leaky roof, which sucks.

That's the snow belt. My sister lives outside of Allegan and gets the brunt of every storm. I'll see if she can send me some pics.

You mean besides the fork lock and the fact that it weighs 250-350 pounds? You're not just going to toss one into the back of a pickup.
