I was actually hoping not to have any this year, because we would have finished the year before Memorial Day. Buuuuut, we got bombed overnight with 11" ... Oh well.

Got over a foot up here. Drifting in it was fun but now I have three vehicles encased in snow. Ugh.

Did you ever get that giant snowblower running properly? I really hope you did...because this snow was wet and heavy, 11" of it is going to suck to move. We only got 1- 2" at our house though so I just shoveled it.

I haven’t had to shovel snow since I bought my Wrangler. Good thing, too, since it has wrecked my back.

Nope, gave it to a friend and ... Well, it’s gone.

If the 2-stroke Toro can't handle it, I'll borrow my retired nieghbor's big one and do both our driveways.

I’m jealous.   I want to play in the snow instead of wearing short sleeves today.

You guys got nearly a foot? Damn, guess the forecasts were right. I was surprised we got like 3-4 inches in the city. It was so warm up until midnight, I didn’t think we’d get any accumulation on anything not grass.

I forget, are you by madison? While it was blowing like mad last night, we only got 2-3". We have some friends in Davenport that got positively dumped on though.

Got it. looks like the storm stayed in your area.  I was expecting more by me. There’s nothing on the north side of Milwaukee

Oh man, 11”?! My folks are in West Chicago and said they got 4-5”. Also their power is out. My brothers just dodged this (they flew out yesterday, I flew out Saturday).

Best of luck getting everything cleared!

Once I got out there, it was more like 8-9". I was going by news reports. It was some s eriously wet heavy snow. At least we have power. I’m in Villa Park, so I’m not too far east of your parents.

Luckily my neighbor has a beast of a snowblower that he let me borrow, because my old Toro failed to start. Always seems to fail when I need it most.

Yeah, this one whacked the area between Milwaukee and Chicago hardest it seems.

Yeah it’s too early for t his crap. We ended up with 14" by the time it was done here ( Davenport, IA / Quad Cities). Ugh...
