Gentlemen please be careful out there, shoveling snow is a mother and a cardio nightmare. Maine Med here in Portland get most of their heart attack and back related patients right after our snow storms.

Like our old Flatheads, you gotta warm up and stretch. From December to March I don't even have to go to the gym, mother nature provides my workouts. Scott

I wonder if the candidates will change their rhetoric to "global cooling" for the Winter campaign?

Hi Everyone, Okay, that wasn't funny. I don't think I've ever seen it snow so hard and with as much volume as that for over a day. What a pile!?!

Can someone ship us about three fifty-degree days please?

Harrisburg PA had THIRTY INCHES! Chambersburg hit hard too!

As Charlie Brown would say, Good Grief!

We take for granted our temperate climate down here at the"ass end of the world".

I remember this book as a kid. Maybe the "good Dr" can help you folk out that still need to clear away the snow.

I feel for you east coast guys. As a Minnesotan I understand what a hassle snow can be.

This must have been from last year! The only places that got any where near this much in CT were down in Fairfield county.

I think that is where the snow built up from the snow blower. Look at the roof of the garage to get a close idea on how much accumulation. Good pic though, and would explain why the camera was held close to the ground for the pic.
No matter how much he got, it was more than needed. I'm glad most are ok and it didn't hit Michigan. Here's a chart below
