There's already a snow thread in the off topic section. This is NFL talk.

I love snow storms so much when everything just shuts down and don't have to stress about anything.

The only stress is when will I be able to go anywhere? My electric snowplow can handle 3 to 4 inches of snow. After that, forget about it. Last night I got rid of 4 inches on the driveway and went to bed. This morning there was another 20 inches of snow waiting for me.

So I called a snow removal service. The guy came over and tried but said there was too much snow and left. True story. So I told a neighbor I would pay him because he has a big gas snowblower. He said he'd think about it maybe tomorrow. At least the power's still on.

This was me last winter. And... I'm not kidding. That really is me after a mammoth storm.

I don't get news acting like giant lizards are attacking the east coast.
Its 12 to 24 inches of snow. That happens several times a year in the Sierras and Rockies....of course hardly anyone lives where that happens.
And the wind too....over Donner Pass 60-70 mph winds are not that unusual....30-50 mph winds happen a lot in the desert.
East coast whimps.

No snow here in O-Town, but it did drop down to 34 last night. That shit is WAY too cold for us. The heat is cranked up to 74 inside and we're still cold AF.

As long as there is power, just relax. Yeah you might get cabin fever. But hey, gives you more time to weed out certain types of people on a certain internet message board.

Which message board are you referring to? Hmmm?

Got up at 7 am and the wife and I cleared the driveway along with help from a neighbor. The dog now has his little area in the back to do his business. Two and a half feet of snow. "I'm getting too old for this s***." - Danny Glover in Lethal Weapon.

You should maybe get a bigger snow thrower. You neighbor doesn't sound like a nice guy. I am the only house on the block without a driveway. My neighbor has a 4 car driveway, so I used his for my two cars and kept it cleaned off for him so the plow can clear the street. We got 24 in in Norristown PA.
