Lightning was awesome, got a couple strikes and definitely some thunder. I was waiting for it. Seems like it calmed down a lot, but it's not done yet. As of now, assuming the drifts aren't getting terrible, i'll have to try to get to work tomorrow :picard:

you guys have no fucking clue what i just drove through.

holy.
fucking.
shit.


went snowmobiling at about 7- not sso bad- then it got bad- middle of cornfield didnt know what way was up. finally got to a bar/restaurant about 5 miles from home- 10-12 miles from where we started around 825. then had my dad come pick me up to go get my truck and trailer... drove it back to the bar to load up sleds... drove back to drop off devin and then home. normally its a 10 minute drive.

took me an hour


pics will happen tomorrow, but my road has not been traveled down in at least 2-3 hours. and has no exaggeration, no joke 4-5 feet of snow on it. burban got sketchy as fuck coming through it, i have no idea how i made it to say the least. snow was coming through everywhere and actually picked up my wiper blades off my windshield to make it even more fucking impossible.

then it took me about 35 tries to back up my trailer in the 1-2 feet of snow in front of my house.

im so jacked up right now i cant sleep or think about sleeping at all. like twitching. i hope the pics i take tomorrow do some justice.

I have not been outside yet but so far I see a drift that runs from the kitchen area of my house to the detached garage and has got to be at least waist deep. I live right in the middle of town too so the country has to be a freaking mess. Neighbors Trailblazer has snow half way up the door and also I cant see the top of the fence in a couple spots lol.

Just finished snow-blowing the driveway. The snow blower has a 24" wide by 24" tall auger and most of my driveway was about 23" thick. Had a couple of area's over 28" deep. Gotta love a 6hp two-stage snow-blower. Cut right thru the snow.
They haven't plowed our street yet and it's around 20" deep. Can't wait for the plows to push it all onto the bottom of the driveway.
Stay safe folks.
