It started out yesterday and last night as a "Slop Storm" 50 / 50 mix of snow and water. Broke the belt on the snow blower trying to clear that.
I woke up this AM to about 8 inches of fresh snow. I normally take a bus to my train, so, I looked at NJ transit's website and they cheerfully informed me that "All buss service si suspended until further notice" So much for work today.
I waited till 6:00 Am and went to the hardware store to get the belt that I needed for the snow blower. I put that on and spent close to 2 hours blowing snow. I have about another inch since I started and maybe 6 more coming today. Not really a big deal, except for breaking the blower. That was just a pain in the butt.
This too will pass. The first full workout in Port St. Lucie is at hand. The boys of summer will come north soon.

i drove circles around people getting in to work last night at 11pm. almost literally! now i'm stuck here 'till 4pm. and only then will i get to go home and shovel. 
i just don't understand why people in tiny, 2 wheel drive cars try to get around in this much snow. there was someone stuck on just about every inclined roadway last night, which are usually the on-ramps for highways and bridges/tunnels. one car gets stuck there, then everyone else can't make it past as they spin their tires, turning sideways as they slip backwards. i had to detour 4 or 5 times last night to try to get around the buttheads.
i wonder if they know the damage that they're doing to their transmissions by gunning it in forward and reverse so fast?

Holy cow, Andy! That's a lot of snow! It makes me want to come up there and make snow angels in your yard.
Seriously - I'm glad y'all appear to be safe and sound after that monster of a storm.

lol, something tells me that andy has already used up every inch of his yard making angels already...
that's a montrous truck, andy! you could park anywhere in this stuff with it, i'll bet.
i had to blast out of my spot on 11th ave. and 61st street last night. the plows pushed a wall of snow that was like wet concrete against my truck right up to the windows. i couldn't even get the door open until i borrowed a shovel from a doorman of the nearby building.
then, when i got home, i had to park on another mound of snow. thank god for 4 wheel drive and manual transmissions!

Funny you should say that Bucky. I went to the North Bergen Park & ride and the parking spot that I wanted was where they piled the snow. I parked my truck on top of the snow bank.
I will go anyplace, if I can just go in that truck. LOL It's not all play, it also hauled the 3,300# of stone for the pond and falls. Yup! I like it.
