We've got over 3 ft and it's still coming down and now starting to blow. We're on generator power and hubby got the plow truck stuck down the lane. I talked him into taking a nap lol We're fine for now, but we're gonna have to get some more gas because we're on genny power until the power company comes and replaces the meter that hubby backed into while plowing *sigh*
Nothing like a luke warm Navy shower lol Thats something we need to fix right there. The water heater isn't hooked up to genny power, so we will be finding something else sometime this year. definitely. I don't ask for much. But a warm shower I would really like. Otherwise we're doing good.

At 9:30 this morning we had 17" and it kept coming until 1:30. I haven't seen the offical total yet. I just got home.

Genevieve, Nice to see the cookies on the board again.

The official total for Harrisburg was 18.5". We had just over 20" here although we have 4' drifts out in the field. The horses are slowly making paths from the hay bales to the water to the barn and then back to the hay. It's rather comical watching the goats trying to get around when some of the drifts are taller than they are.

still waiting on power...day 2. we dug the plow truck out at pre-dawn yesterday morning. that was fun....not LOL Hubby made 7 ft tall walls of snow all along the driveway LOL It's like a snow castle.All the vehicles are cleared off and reparked. Hubby is on snow call this week so he'll be staying at work for the next one this week. Once it's light out I intend to bring in more bags of pellets. We went yesterday and refilled all the gas cans.
You know, it's one thing to know that the power wasn't ever going to come back on, that I can and will live without it. But, right now thats not the option. There is power. Just not here. And I would really like to have some LOL

UncleJoe · 02-09-2010, 02:28 AM

Talking about 12" here now also.

UncleJoe · 02-11-2010, 12:40 AM

I stand corrected. THIS is a lot of snow. 40" in a week.

mdprepper · 02-11-2010, 02:36 AM

Finally stopped snowing, I guess we ended up with another 15". It is hard to tell, the winds have been blowing and gusting to white out conditions. Weatherman says there may be more on Monday or Tuesday.

So far, this season we officially have 73" (or there abouts).
