Smalltalk with James Robertson

The snowstorm finally ended - I think we got about 30 inches. I have a few more photos - I'm now exhausted, after helping clear four driveways. The blower was only able to help once we cut the snow down, and then it ran into a problem after the third driveway. Tiring!

Update: The official measurement for my area just came in - 33.8 inches. No wonder I'm so tired :)

We don't get out of this anytime soon:

When I headed up to bed at 1:30 AM last night, I measured 15 inches of snow on my back step. About 30 minutes ago, I measured 25 - and the snow hasn't slacked off. Here's a short video and a few photos, showing how huge an event this is:

Fortunately, we still have power - probably because the lines are underground here. Here's a shot I just took of my grill:

And here's my patio furniture:

This is probably too deep for the smallish snow blower a bunch of us in the neighborhood went in on. Tomorrow is going to be a heck of a day, especially since it's supposed to just keep snowing...

I don't think I've ever seen numbers like this for anywhere I've lived:

I'll have to think up some new scare terms for snow :)

It's really coming down now - this shot was taken 20 minutes after the one above:

Here it comes - supposedly, 2 feet of the white stuff is on the way:

With this huge storm on the way, thank goodness I'm not traveling this weekend:

Now the forecast is calling for 18-25 inches of snow - should be a wild ride over the next couple of days. The local school system has already decided to let school out 3 hours early...

This isn't really Snowmageddon, but I bet it will get my daughter out of school tomorrow:

In terms of actual Snowmageddon, there's a possibility that a storm system tracking into the south will run up the coast this weekend and leave us with another 2 foot + event. Getting a second one of those in one winter would be pretty darn unusual for central Maryland :)

Nothing is hitting the ground here yet - but this weather map says it will be shortly:

With something like three inches on the way, I'm guessing that we'll have at least a school delay in the morning - if that happens, expect "Smalltalk Daily" to be a bit late, as I sleep in :)
