Such a picturesque description, but isn't there some kind of maxim on here about no pictures?

Only the 40+ inches we got in the last week came from Texas!

We sent it back as revenge...

Bah, we finally have had a decent winter. Averaging a storm a week for the last month. Here a a few pics from the storm two weeks ago.

The snow is now piled three feet above the small sign in the picture above on the left.

Here's my street this morning:

Last night, by ambient light with about 5 inches accumulation (i believe this is the most in 27 years

)

Alas - unless I can contrive some method of taking a photo of myself you will just have to take my word for it.

I don't even have a full length mirror in the house.

If you have a digital camera Anne it might have a self-timer to it. Two years after I got my digital camera I discovered this lovely little feature.

I think most digital cameras have the self timers. My problem is not being tech savvy enough to know what all is on there.

Looks like lots of snow everywhere (except Vancouver). Thanks, all for the beautiful pix.

In your post you mentioned to the road where THE snowplow had been. I believe that is the total number owned by the state of Virginia.

Good luck and good health on setting a snowfall record for your area.

But does New Hapshire have the traffic that Gainesville has. So there.
