sprchik Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 Yikes! Northern areas of MI can get some absolutely insane snow! This is what my poor car looked like before I dug myself out yesterday -- Took me 3 hours, but my driveway is clear now! As clear as I could get it, anyway. Blisters on my palms too! Got out of my drive just fine, but then struggled to drive the 2 blocks to a clear street. Took 10 minutes to drive 2 blocks, kept getting stuck! Road had last been plowed Saturday afternoon, and we got several more inches since then. Figured that would happen -- I watched a car get stuck a few houses down while I was shovelling. Luckily when I came home yesterday, my street had been plowed! So no struggle on the way back in... until I got to the ginormous burm at the end of my drive from the plow, LOL! Almost didn't make it back into my drive. Just came back in from shovelling that burm. And have some great icicles to share... Glad I don't use my front door!!! They've reached & frozen to the porch! In the back, there's a massive one reaching the actual ground!!! Should be interesting to see what happens tomorrow when temps finally get & stay above freezing for a while... wondering if they'll be even more amazing, or if the melt will be too intense and they'll just disappear...

Steph Posted February 15, 2018 Report Share Posted February 15, 2018 The outside thermometer read 39 this morning as I headed out to the mailbox down the street and I let out an involuntary "ooooeeeee nice!" lol ... I'm easily pleased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ManofKent Posted February 28, 2018 Report Share Posted February 28, 2018 Several inches of snow here (about the first time we've had significant snow in the last seven years). After spending 21/2 hours getting into work yesterday, they decided to close early, then it took a further two and half hours to get back... You don't need that much snow for it to grind to a halt over here, but then when it's so infrequent, investing in replacing our third rail train system etc. etc. probably doesn't make economic sense.

Walking and train travel rather than driving, but thank you. No trains running today or tomorrow so working from home via a dodgy remote connection on the laptop. The worst thing s I've got marbles in the post but there are no deliveries! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steph Posted July 12, 2018 Report Share Posted July 12, 2018 Too hot to think ...... .... because if I were thinking I would have realized before now that I could move the box fan into the computer room and then it might not be too hot to think!

DINDO Posted February 6, 2019 Report Share Posted February 6, 2019 Its been a wild 30 days. 20 days below -20. 3 massive snowfalls. Each 25cm+ . Now freezing rain 3 days in a row. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted February 13, 2019 Report Share Posted February 13, 2019 After a few decent snowfalls, with a couple bordering on massive, our snow mounds should last awhile. It tickles me to look outside in April or May and still see snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
