We got clobbered.

Here's what was left in the road when we got a car out.

I do not see how you live in a place like that . If I get five or six inches of snow here , I am really ticked. Mostly though , because I am unable to dig out anymore . If I lived there , I would be in a heck of a mess .

Hey L C,
Don't you get lots of snow in Ohio? You'd think it would be pretty similar. Besides, if you lived around here, we'd dig you out. But this storm was unusual. I think its been over ten years since we were hit this hard over one or two days.

The most snow we have had so far this year was around six inches at one setting Bob . Over the years our winters have become a lot milder than they were back in the fifties and sixties . Or at least it seems so to me . But once in a while we will get a good one . Had the blizzard in the seventies, had to have the National Guard in to dig some of us out . Had a really nasty temps as well as a bunch of snow . Most of the bad stuff here as of late usually is more to the north part of Ohio . And they can have it too !

Very beautiful Bob!
Stardust, What happens if you are disabled or elderly and can't shovel snow in front your house? got to hire someone?

Its 80 degrees at my house.

I suppose. Its easy to forget how big Ohio really is (unless you're driving across it).[]

I'm so jealous. I'd say I was green with envy - but the only greens I see are in your lovely picture.

I think there's 15+ roof cave ins and one that was captured while it happened. That was a 3.5 acre size building that eventually about totally caved, walls and all.
A lot more creaking has shut down a bunch of businesses until engineers can give the OK.
None of that is reporting your average homeowner and their outbuildings.

Man, that sucks. I feel sorry for those folks.

Capturing it on video reminds me of the Metrodome in Minneapolis. Of course, that was an inflatable roof, but it was interesting to see it.

Ah, now i understand why the Indians invented snowshoes! I used to think that winter was a rough time as far as food availability was concerned in prehistory, but with the advantage afforded by snowshoes it would actually be very easy to obtain.



And issuing citations for not shoveling sidewalks is BS. If the city owns the sidewalks, it should be the city's responsibility.
