That's about what it looks like here, although we had a few inches of previous snow on the ground. I spent most of the day trying to get a tractor started, then finally getting it buried in snow, dug it out with a shovel, and gave up...I didn't feel like shoveling 2 more tons of snow to open the gate...there was snow there that came up to my armpits. shag it.
June will be here....sometime.

Moral is....next time, the  tractor and blade will in MY shop...and it's all Al Gore's fault. Someone go kick him in the nuts....-ass snow.

This one certainly has turned into a doozey, no doubt.  Hope everyone is safe and sound.  Back in '07 I was in a similar one where we got a few feet of snow, and 50 mph sustained/70+ mph gusts of winds all night long.  We were trapped at work for the night.  Tried earlier to drive out and beat the storm, but I didn't make it, turned back, and found a spot to sit among the others.  So Gumby, I feel yer pain.  (that fence is 10 feet tall, and there's a few cars parked along the fence to the side) Here's just a couple pics.

Yes, I have a new appreciation for what you Chicagoans go through in snow time.
Sarjaxx, any good jobs in Floridy? I'm tired of this  already.

Vegas or Arizona, either one looks pretty good about now.

We ended up with about 18" all said and done. Wind didn't get as bad as they were saying, though, thank God...

Yeah the 60+mph winds really made some huge drifts even though we only had 21 inches of snow.

We have had maybe 2 inches of snow in the last 2 weeks. For the last week though, lows of 4-6 and highs of 18-20. I took a work truck to the car wash to clean off some dirt. In the half mile back, the entire truck was covered in ice.

You guys stay safe and warm out there.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.
