I know, just another day for some parts of the world, but on the Connecticut shoreline it's a pretty big deal.

12-18 inches here, drifts over 2ft around the house. Thank goodness the plow came, I still spent 2 hrs cleaning up what was left over.

My nephew was upset his M3 had to sleep outside too. I've got both stalls filled with my toys.

The lakewood Vair has permanent resident in my garage along with wood pellets or the M3 would be parked in there....

@Mike: the wife's Mini gets first shot at the garage (good thing this time, might have lost it in a drift), and the '66 Mustang convertible doesn't have a top (or fenders for that matter), so it's a permanent resident.

12 to 15 inches of blown white stuff here in west central Rhode Island…

Spent a good part of the day today with a shovel in hand.

(Now I have a beer in hand)

It took me most of the day to dig out both my driveways with 2 snow blowers and 2 grown boys helping. 12" in West Haven. 16" in East Haven.

Mike, what is your BMW doing outside?

That is officially a metric buttload of snow.

We got about an inch overnight, adding to the few inches we got a couple of weeks ago. We're supposed to get some more this week, but I'll be travelling to the Puget Sound area so I'll miss it.

I love it! And more to come this coming Friday. We need to have one of these during rush hour though. Bent up sheet metal is good for business! (as long as nobody gets hurt though) Those cool LED headlights on the new A4 costs about $1100 each...
