Three inches of snow my butt! (Sheboygan blizzard)

Last edited Wed Feb 27, 2013, 07:32 AM - Edit history (1)

I had to force my front door open, this is what was outside!

The thing with the green handle is my broom, and that big lump on the right is my neighbor's gas grill.

Three inches of snow my ass!

I'm so glad it doesn't snow where I live!

And I'm sorry you have to deal with it...



BTW, love the pic!

It does look pretty, unless I have to shovel it.

And I just did shovel a path through the drift out the front door.

The snowdrift on the west side (in OP picture) is 5 feet high.

On the east side of the building our driveway is bordered by a 4 foot high concrete wall.
That wall is totally buried under snow, none of it is visible.

Neighbor's truck is stuck in drift on southeast end of building.

Am going to see if I can get some pictures.

Neighbor got unstuck.

Shoveled a path in front out the door, (west side,) still snowing, 30 degrees and 25mph wind with gusts up to 40.

Snow is supposed to continue until this afternoon.

That is my shovel in the picture.

Well, plow has been through the driveway, but still some shoveling to do.

West side of the building, (front)



East side leading up to building next door...



And west side driveway, pile the snow plow left.
