Bargo thinks the blizzard didn't live up to the hype. Here he stands on our front stoop. I shoveled it at 3:00 am when it had around 0.5 inches of snow on it, though there was some drifting up against the bottom of the door. Here it's around 10:00 am. |
| Here's another view, showing the walk up to my door and some of the front yard. About 8 feet from the stoop, the snow on the front yard drifts to about 2 feet high but there's a nice strip of low snow along the front of my housing unit here. I'd guess there's roughly ½ to 2 inches of snow in this area of the yard. |  |

Okay, Bargo's rethinking the blizzard now that he's seen our driveway. Bargo is about 24 inches at the shoulder or so (yeah, he's huge for a Lab) and the plows came straight up the driveway (the driveway is kind of like a two-sided "F", with 4 garages on the left and 4 on the right, all sharing the driveway. Happily, that's not my car. |

This is my garage and that's the snow I'll have to drive through to get my minivan out of it. Bargo's a believer. The lighting and contrast are a bit odd, but my giant Lab is standing right next to the Wall o' Snow ™. |

Welcome to Driveway Canyon. |

And those are the first few pics of the blizzard. I may post more later but these should give you an idea of how much snow we got. Not as much as some places can get (*cough* New England *cough*) but still photo-worthy, I think.
