Here's what I've been dealing with... just over 24 hours ago, there was almost no snow on the ground and the road and sidewalk was snow free... It started snowing Sunday morning and ended at around 5AM Monday morning. Here's how it looked this morning once I was done shoveling my driveway:

This is the smaller of 2 snow piles I made shoveling my driveway and front steps... I ended up burying the front of my neighbor's SUV.

Here's the second pile on the other side of the driveway:

This is looking down my street, which is normally 4 cars wide.. it's now reduced to 1 car wide:

The guy accross the street has some digging to do whenever he decides to leave his house:

There's a sidewalk under all this... check out that 12 foot pile of snow a few houses down LOL!

same thing here. There are no longer cars parked on my street...just mounds of snow with side mirrors sticking out of them and a tail light here or there.

lol at the Remax sign in amongst all of that, we have around the same amount here Dan but I'd hate to have it all dumped on us at once like you's do.

Our weather has been nutso we went down to minus 38C and now sitting on 1C, the 2 rivers started melting that quick it caused severe floodings and evacuations from the ice pile ups.

Oh and ummm you have a lot more snow coming your way lol, don't ya just love Canada in winter. :yodasearch:

Wow, I was going to tell you to get over it when I saw the topic name lol :yodasearch: but WOW! thats a lot of snow. It would be kind of cool if it snowed like that here. We had a blizzard last wednesday but it was mostly really windy I was walking home and I could probably been able to jump in the air and fly away lol.

Snow is great in small amounts. When it snows in Tennessee its usually just enough to be able to have fun with and make things look nice and pretty without being a real hassle. Plus the state invested in tons of salt and spreading equipment so our roads are always clear.
