I wish I had a video of my little cat in the snow! He decided that he had to leap from the narrow clear lane along the back of the house (because of the roof overhang) into the snow, which is nearly twice as deep as he is tall. It was hilarious watching him trying to navigate. He sank into the snow and couldn't *quite* push off to leap to another spot because the snow beneath him would give way, and he couldn't *quite* push through the snow to try to walk. He was very confused! He finally decided he should get back to the narrow snow-free zone against the house.
I don't really know how much we've gotten here, but it's a lot.

I think the cars look like funny bugs with their wipers in the air

Okay, Zen, I sent the patio table pictures (noon, 2:20, 4:30) to Channel 4.
Of course, I'm now watching Channel 7... :)
Oh, pumpkin bread is done!
Here's an action shot of Sammy helping me shovel.

Okay...I'll play.
Here's our patio set, covered in snow!!

And my truck, buried (optimistic with the kayak holders still on the roof!):

I haven't taken a ruler to the table, but that's about 20", I'd say.
Cross country skiing this a.m. was fair. I stuck to the neighborhood streets, and the asphalt tends to hold a lot of heat, so there wasn't much glide. But it's a sure-fire conversation starter with neighbors I rarely see, much less talk to. Lots of folks out with their kids, sledding, and lots of snow shovelling going on.... Not much biking, however. :(
So far I'd say that your table is the winner!Quote:

Lest you all think I'm a mean Mommy... he does have a stall to go into, and a waterproof blanket!
And it is STILL snowing.
Well....Quote:

OK, I'm ticked. Channel 4 apparently thought the snow was so interesting that they pre-empted the Kona Ironman Triathlon show so they could talk about snow. That's ridiculous.
Was in DC yesterday for business, supposed to return home today. I was so lucky to snag the last Delta seat back to Atl last night! The snow is so beautiful, but not at an airport! Good luck to you all in the NE. Be safe!
Okay, it's a little blurry, but it gets the point across.
DH and I went and put the tape measure to the pile of snow on our picnic table tonight. Snow has tapered to flurries.
I think this is about it....a lot for Maryland.

Pfft! You young'uns and your 21st century snowstorms. I lived through the blizzard of '78. Now that was a storm. Let me tell you all about it - my story starts in nineteen dickety eight -we had to say 'dickety' because the Kaiser had stolen our word 'seventy'.
Anyway, even though the streets weren't plowed for over a week and there was no electricity and all the stores were closed, we still had to go to school everyday to make sure it was closed. Finally, Richard Nixon put on a magical sweater and got the streets cleaned and we could all buy milk again.
You forgot the part about how you had to walk barefoot and uphill in the snow. :D
My father was just telling me about a storm in 1947, shortly after they moved to Long Island to the house where he still lives. They got about 3 feet of snow. My grandfather was stranded at work because the LIRR wasn't running, and the snow was up to my father's knees when he walked down the street.
I don't think I've seen a storm with more than 2 feet or so.
