It was completely insane. I can't think of the last time I had that much fun with so many folks that I didn't know. My buddy got popped and walked away with a bloody lip. Of course I didn't let him hear the end of that for the rest of the day. I did see the clip of it on Sportscenter.

We had just over 3 feet here at my house. Our neighborhood still hasn't been plowed due to the money situation most likely (The county said in the paper that it had no more snow removal money, and as a result some places won't get plow service because they will be focusing on the main roads, etc...).

So there was a radio announcement yesterday begging ANYONE who had a plow truck or tractor to please come and help each other...it was pro bono work, but due to an emergency, they were just asking people to help each other out. My dad went out last night with his tractor, which is a john deere with a big snowblower on the front of it. He plowed driveways and stuff until about 2 in the morning...

Now with nearly a 100% chance of snow for Tuesday night and Wednesday, we will probably be shut in again...

big props to your dad.. there's not a lot of community action like that anymore unfortunately

we paid a guy 20 bucks to clear our driveway with his bobcat, took him less than 10 mins, he made bank in the neighborhood.. renting a dozer and a snowblower can make some good money around this time

29.6" here in Germantown, We lost power late Friday night and it wasn't restored until 8:45 Sunday morning. Life is difficult living without power, your options are limited.

hot damn you guys have a crap load of snow... you're going to have some flooding issues when that stuff starts thawing out in the spring

It's a beautiful, crisp day today. Lots of sunshine. After this Caps game, I'm definitely headed out (on foot) to take some pics and do a little exploring.

It might start thawing before that. Thats what happened last time. The next week it was mid 40s and it all melted.

except that they are calling for around 6 inches maybe more on tuesday night through wednesday

a lot of people can already get out to major roads but narrow neighborhoods like mine will most likly go untouched until later this week

There's a 100% chance we'll get more snow Tuesday into Wednesday, don't know just how much is predicted yet, but any accumulation on top of what we already have is going to be even more troublesome. Flooding is going to be a problem when the temperatures rise above freezing in the daytime hours.
