Snow !*#$%#$@!. Twenty one inches here in Warrenton and still piling up.
Glad I stocked up on Scotch, cigars and steak. Haven't seen the Shih Tsu dog after carrying it under the deck for a nature call, she is 11 inches high, came back in and the dog has disappeared somewhere in the house..

20" here so far and no sign of it slowing up.
The family is all home and safe and that's where we're staying.

Still snowing in Jonas land. Emergency vehicles only going out with a plow in front of them. Pictures of front door, back door, and the home of the Model A's.

Hi Mitch,

Built the garage in 2014 alongside the driveway. Put epoxy with multi-colored flakes on the cement: oil, gas, grease wipes up with a damp cloth. Put a lot of electrical power into the garage and had the concrete poured at 4,000 psi so I could add a 4 post car lift, if desired.

FYI-had to shovel the household generator out twice today as well as the intake and exhaust pipes to the natural gas furnace. Just being careful.

Make sure your furnace flues are drawing fumes out. Almost died from drifting snow!

I cleared my whole house generator also, we didn't need it this time but it's sure nice to know its there. ended up with about 30"
I just put a four post in my house a nice investment..
Be safe Bud

I have a nice aluminum snow shovel I'll trade for your cat.

I have mice outside, and you have snow, so we both win.

I have about 18 inches and three foot drifts here. The county just sent two back hoes they have been working about a hour now. I gave em a cup of coffee and a bunch of home made cookies. Be nice to the plow drivers they have had a bad time and little sleep here.
