Default And the winner is...17"

My trusty hardware store yardstick says we got 17" of snow in the
backyard, without counting any drifts. Just put out some more seed on
flattened cardboard boxes for the birds, who have a rough time of it
when it snows.

Plow guy supposed to be here around noon-ish.

Are you sure you're qualified to operate such a complex measuring
device? :-)

Ah...the trusty wooden yard stick...you just don't see them up here anymore..
I do have a metal, meter long ruler though.
So far we only have an inch or two of snow....just a light dusting.
I got a kick off CNN coverage from Virginia last night. All I saw was half of 3/4 ton pickups plowing the streets. We use those for driveways or smaller parking lots.

You should have parked it in the red barn - with the owls.

Hell yes. Shovelling that quarter mile driveway must be a bitch.

I thought it was less than 100 ft from the corner of his house to the
corner of his driveway. Maybe my measurements are off.


I thought he told us it was a quarter mile before the overhead view became available.
Ditto with his Maryland Red Barn.

When we moved here, ****s for brains, we were the first occupied house on
the little street, and the only part of the road leading to the state road
was our driveway and several hundred feet of gravel road that led to a
large traffic circle, unpaved. It was all our driveway for months.
