The next task of the day was to try and clear my driveway..even tho it didnt matter because there are reports of 20 foot drifts on local streets and city plows can't even plow yet
but anyway here is the progress over a 5 hour period of time

I hear ya Schmidt. I'm in Bismarck, ND and we've been getting pounded too. I took the F3 out last Friday and Saturday (50*) and then we had snow, rain, and high winds. We had a blizzard yesterday and most of south Bismarck (where the nicest homes are located) had been evacuated and the National Guard called in. Approximately 6,000 residents have been moved out of houses that have almost 3 feet of water on their MAIN level. Obama declared it a disaster area this morning. The motobike has been parked and the sled is only way to get around. Are we ever going to see summer?
