Wow, that's alot of snow. Glad you found her. Now, keep her on high ground because when all that snow melts, you're going to be seeing alot of water!!

Yeah I hate cold weather. I had to scrape frost this morning here in SoCal and I thought I was going to die of frostbite. Probably doesn't help that I don't own long pants and I onlhy have light sweaters.

Really? Where in SoCal did you live?
I moved to the IE and it's damn cold in the boonies lol

But I'm not looking forward to the 100+ during summer.

Quote attributed to my sister's friend near Syracuse:
"On February 8th, 26 inches of snow fell in Boston. They called it a blizzard and named it Nemo. On February 4th, 20 inches of snow fell in Syracuse. We woke up, called it Monday, and went to work."

Yeah I know, to some who live further North this may not seem like alot. We regularly get 1ft+ from snowstorms here, but 36inches is the most I can remember in my lifetime.

My Mini turned into a snow drift during the storm! The snow on the roof was higher than the car. I have a pic and will try to post!

I lived in Minneapolis during the 1991 Halloween blizzard when Mother Nature dumped 36" of heavy, wet snow. That city which can handle anything just shut down. Ask anyone who lived there during that time...36" of wet stuff is no fun for anyone...

Here in Wisconsin we just fire up stuff like this and move the snow out of the way:
