The worst snowstorm ever.
Long time no talk guys. thought i would pop incase any of you saw this storm on the news cause i guess it was national. And it is the worst blizzard this town has seen in like 28 years. i have alot of pictures so bear with me
Here it was last night..before it really started getting bad.
And when i woke up this morning.
out my front door..a 6 foot drift blocking me in
And on the side of my house
13ft drifts
Soo i thought i would go take some quick pictures of the backyard and i open my door to this..Aw crap.
so i broke out the shovel and started digging
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
(yes..that is my poor charger, burried
a little farther
my dad making some head way
And eventually we had to quit because of snow being to sticky and the snowblower crapping out..so this is where we stopped
SOO..I gave up all together and spent the rest of my day cruising the town on this bad boy
They say we will be stranded for 2-3 more days...I am getting bored here.
Oh yeah..and the storm report shows 25 inches of snow. and a report of one wind gust at 90MPH!!. with steady 70mph winds all night.

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?
