Default For you Texans, a video of my snow

Yeah, this is what New England snow looks like..

It's been building up pretty high. Not much is melting away.
When the next storm comes, we are going to be looking for places to put the extra snow..



Some roofs are starting to cave-in around the area now.
If it rains, or if we get another foot or two, there will be real problems.
Snow is covering up gas hot water heater exhaust vents too.

One of the big hazards this month, is driving into intersections.
You can't see that guy that's driving 60 in a 30 zone, while he's
talking-n-texting on his 'cell'..
My wife's Corolla is just too low. At least I can see over some of the banks
when we take my Escape.

As it stands now, the snow plows aren't going to be able to push snow up
the roadside banks. They are taller than the plows..

After the blizzard of 77-78, they had to bring in big front-end loaders to
load the snow into dump trucks. (That was after they filled up my front yard)!
When the melt came, we had an indoor pool in the basement..
This time we have more pumps and back-up power!
