Biggest blizzard I’ve been in was when we moved to Chicago around ‘67. We got 3 feet in one fall. Where there were drifts it was close to 5 feet. We dug tunnels and made an igloo/fort kind of thing. Then it warmed up and froze again making an ice crust on top you could walk on...I was only seven then and didn’t weigh much. Memory I’ll ever forget.
BTW that pic was an hour+ ago and at 14”, since then we got another inch at least. That’s about the rate, an inch an hour.

That’s a pretty hilly drive, you got some ballz! I’m surprised they were even open.
Clint Jr took my Suburban to spend the night last night so we’re home bound. But we went shopping yesterday and stocked up for a month. Let it snow, let it snow, let it SNOW!

Had to shovel a path just to take out the garbage.
I doubt anything is open anyway.
To: Clint N. Suhks
Yes,Many years ago when my husband was injured from work a friend stopped by in a snowstorm.Bam we heard thunder and saw lighting out the kitchen window.I'll never forget it because it was a snowstorm.Worst part of the storm getting ready to come to us now.We are in lower Bucks in Pa.

We're up to 9 inches already here in Hershey.
They are playing the PA State Football Championship over at the stadium right now. Halftime: LaSalle High (Phila) 14 vs State College Little Lions 0.
It looks like the weatherperson was wrong again. It's creeping more into PA than they thought.
Won't even attempt to get out of my 120 foot driveway until they plow the roads tomorrow.
The snow is beautiful. Life is good.

Thunder snow????
We here in lake effect land know exactly what that is, complete with lightening even.
You hear the thunder and look outside and you can’t see 10 feet in front of you.
Clint your pic is amazing as to the depth of the snow. I just took a look at doppler and it looks like the heavy stuff ain’t anywhere near over in all your necks of the woods.
Meanwhile, just about an inch here, and it hasn’t snowed in an hour or so......

Hang in there!
We had "thundersnow" here in Georgia 3-4 years ago when a big front moved through. It was pretty surprising.

We tend to get ice here as well, in fact we bought a generator before we bought a lawnmower . . . because we just thought that was what you did! My husband has ginned up a system where we tag out the main and then run the generator directly into both legs of the 220. If you're careful about not overloading the generator (and don't run things like toasters and ovens!) you can pretty much proceed as normal, except for that roar in the back yard!
Bad ice storm here in '73, a real heavy snowfall (not ice) in '82, and a genuine blizzard in '93. Some small ice storms in between, enough to break some branches and put the power out for a day or so, but nothing spectacular.
It seems like we have had more snow and less ice lately. I remember some very bad ice storms in the late 50s and early 60s, when I was a kid. And you're right, the transformers exploding look like fireworks on the horizon. Also, if you live in a pine grove, the breaking branches sound like heavy machine gun fire.

Looks like you put a wedding cake or an old fashioned sugar loaf on that table.
We have never, EVER, gotten that much snow here! Snowjam '82 was 6 or 8 inches depending on where you were. '93 blizzard was not that much snow but it snowed sideways for an entire day.
