Cabin Fever & Historic Snow

I haven't posted on this blog for awhile. Two reasons, 1-There hasn't been much to discuss. 2-Have been digging out of a record snowfall in the mid-Atlantic. The record snowfall has been epic.

It all started with dual snow storms (both hitting within 72 hours of each other). Both of them "Nor'easters" traveling north up the east coast of the US. In my neighborhood we have seen 70+ inches on the ground when it was all over.

It's the kind of snow that can't be moved by a guy in a pickup with a plow. It's just too deep. So you find yourself a 3-stage snow thrower with a big engine on it, or you shovel it all by hand. I was forced to choose the later. After three days of digging with the help of neighbors and family we finally saw the main road and escaped to the grocery store for more supplies.

There is word of another storm coming through here tomorrow (2/15/10). This is getting old.
