Storm of the Century

23.5" reported with 40 mph gusts. I have 4 to 6 foot driffs all over including my driveway. Some are 20 feet wide. My driveway entrance was plowed shut to 5 feet high and about 20 feet wide. Needed a front end loader to open it up. Today a high of 9 degrees. Unbelievable.

I feel for ya! stay warm/safe!
I lived in Chicago for 30yrs and know that snow/cold feeling.

We are 5min from Mexico here in McAllen and even here the dog water was iced up bad this morning ! Nothing like what you guys are going thru though.

Temps are still below freezing here in sunny E. Texas. We had a few guys with frozen water lines and broken backflow valves (sprinklers). Tomorrow looks like the fun begins, though, with actual accumulations of snow and sleet predicted. Most around here have trouble driving when it rains, so I can't wait to see the mess tomorrow.

Thanks for your concern Hector. It looks like there isn't very many places to go to for good weather.

I read this book and it got my attention.

We had decent weather today. I think a high of 20, but lots of sunshine! Went flying with a student this morning, the air was smooth and visibility was great. Took off from Ann Arbor, flew over for a landing Grosse Ile and then over to Monroe. Monroe hadn't even attempted to clear the snow yet. Could just barely make out the runway. We just made a low pass. Could see tire tracks from a 4x4 going down the runway is all.
