So that's where our winter's snowfall went...

We didn't get enough to bother shovelling.

Same here. Normal for us is about 30" total and we got 4", spread out over a few weeks so no shoveling.

That is an insane amount of snow. :eek:

Holy crap...!!

Hope you have plenty of food cause looks like digging the truck out is only a small part of the equation. 4x4 or not... It doesn't look like that things gonna be going anywhere soon.

i wonder up in AK, when it snows like that does anybody worry where the road is and if they are driving over top of cars or houses?

Holy snowball Batman! Reminds me of the year my daughter was born...1992...had to keep the driveway open for the big moment so I shoveled constantly. My snow shovel has been gathering dust since we moved back to Tejas from Kansas...don't miss the white stuff at all.

Makes me glad I live in the desert! Yeah, it gets up to 120 F in August, but it's a dry heat ...
