thats a ton of snow!

we might get a few inches here in NE. ill round up more later

well I'm near Philly and it wasn't just the snowfall itself which was about 3.5 to 4 feet, it was the drifting that was ridiculous. add in the plow trucks which a 6 foot high berm in front of my driveway when they finally did come, and you have my nightmare. shoveling sucks> I gotta go where its warm.
