Plowed out!

WTH??? They extended the WSW to 9PM! ...WINTER STORM WARNING NOW IN EFFECT UNTIL 10 PM EST /9 PM CST/ THIS EVENING... * WHAT...Heavy lake effect snow. Additional snow accumulations of 1 to 3 inches. * WHERE...Portions of northern Indiana and southwest Michigan. * WHEN...Until 10 PM EST /9 PM CST/ this evening. * IMPACTS...Plan on slippery road conditions. Patchy blowing snow could significantly reduce visibility.

Cripes, we got another 6ish inches over nite! Snow is now halfway up a 6 foot fence, 36" I would guess for the storm total and the plume is coming back for one last pass looks like within the hour. Will take some more pics when my buddy gets here and plows me out so I can walk around.

We shall see IJ. Luckily it will warm up next week and hopefully melt it away...

Ya, got my buddy coming tomorrow with a big tractor to plow me out...

I believe this is it. We have had some doozys before but don't recall ever over 2 feet and counting. Blizzard of 1978 was the most snow, about 36" but if that fetch comes back west, it may eclipse 78. This snow is very light and fluffy, 78 snow was very dense grains which made it so much more difficult to plow.

They just extended the WSW to noon tomorrow...

Ok, this is getting ridiculous. I measured the snow on top of my generator and it is 23" but I think the actual total is higher. Snow is up to and covering the generator and outdoor ac cooling unit. Had to clear the snow around my furnace intake/exhaust before it choked off the heat! It is still coming down I would say 1"/hr and if this plume shifts back west, snow will be up to my windows...

Difficult to tell with the blowing but I would estimate close to 24" and it is still coming down...

Been snowing hard since I got up around 7:30. Still coming down pretty good though doesn't show it on the radar.
