Hate it when a snow storm "over-delivers".
Two of them in as many days is unfair.
We have about 16 inches of the stuff
in some places.

1-3” slushy snow yesterday with breeze.** Now it’s sinny and 5 above.
Might hit 20 today...
When we had the large house with the 1,000 ft driveways I decided one
year to invest in a plow for my F-250 thinking it would pay for itself
over a few years and be fun to boot.
The "fun" part didn't last long.* Plowing can be a pain in the ass,
especially when there's a foot or more of it following several storms.
After a while you can't plow because there's no place to push the snow.
I'd have to fire up the JD tractor and move it around with the front
end loader.
Nice now.* If there's a storm coming, I just stock up on coffee, food
and the essentials and watch out the window as the hired, younger guys
with trucks and plows do the driveway.
Ever been to Albany? The one winter I lived in the area, we had one huge
snowstorm after another. During one, a city or county dump truck with a
plow went down the hill on the main drag through downtown and slid right
into the Hudson River. Driver was rescued.
