How are things in the storm

We have 18-20". The 7010 does it's best but can't get a foothold. All the gravel is layered in ice and I have no chains. Pickups are almost useless and now the wind is howling something fierce. I think this is the most snow I've seen at one time and with low temps in the forcast I better get used to looking at it. Last year the mud, this year the snow and cold, me thinks the good Lord is telling me something. TobeMo

It just started here in Ontario. They say we will get about an foot and half.

Looks like its done hear in ohio dosent look like as mouch as they perdicted ill post some pics of when im plowing out later!

3 foot drifts outside.The country road I live on is closed 1/4 mile to north and 1 mile to south.called road district and they said maybe late this afternoon "MAYBE".I understand they are overwhelmed ,got over a foot but the wind is the problem.Open fields have very little on them.Low places and woods is where all the snow ended up.Time to dig out the NF D-17 and see what I can do.

 We are all told to stay at home, not sure how much snow  here in the thumb of Mich. Very cold, very windy, 25 mph and gusts are higher, drifts are deep outside of house, 5 ft. and more. Most fuffy snow we had move around a lot, going to be a problem getting cleaned out on our sideroads.  Snowing more now and suppose to keep snowing here most of the day.  Everthing here is closed, even the court house where my wife works.  May go for a snowmoblie ride later today and check  things out.

Currently 19 degrees and 15mph winds. Also getting some flurries but thats all we suppose to get. We've had 3 or 4 snows this year and the deepest one has been between 2-3 inches. The rest just an inch or two, so we sitting in a hole where the snow has been deeper both North and South of us.

Here in southwestern Ontario ( just west of Kitchener) we dodged to the big one again, we some accumulation( half a foot maybe)- mostly just blowing around alot- north/south roads are not good.

The shifted wind blew the driveway clean. But the glacier in the back yard has peaks at 10 or 12 feet. I don't think I'm going to take a rod out and measure. Road was plowed yesterday, but may not be open.

Drove down to work this morning, about 20 miles,  I was the only one there, called the boss, told me to go back home.  Wish he would have told me to stay home the first time I called him.  Highways are OK, but a lot of the access roads have cars stuck on them.

 Well, the plows have not been out yet and it's 10:45 am. I can't plow my drive because of the 6'x20'x35' snow drift thats keeping my "CA" hostage in the shed.

Well hear at Del Val, we have no internet, no power, and the dining hall is not cooking any food (not good if your in college!) I am updating this from my phone lol. Of course a few people are geeking out that they cant play their video games, all I say is back to the good ole days!!!

My lane out to the road looks open. I have 1 drift near the house across the lane but it's only about 18-20 inches deep and a couple feet wide. Looking back toward the wood shed it's a little different. There is a drift that winds around the buildings that is probably 30 feet long, up to 7 feet high in places and 8-10 feet wide. The 45 is in the driveway of the woodshed with no door on the east end. Poor thing has about 6 inches  drifted on top of the hood. I'm staying in for the day unless the wind quits completely. I have wood in the basement and the power has been on through it all.
 The SIL went out yesterday afternoon cause his landlord got stuck up the road a ways. Mike got stuck and then another guy stopped to help and got stuck. I guess they finally got a tractor to pull everybody out and by that time Mike ended up parking the Duramx at a neighbors, plugging it in and walking a 1/4 mile home.

The trip home from work last night was tough, but the worst has passed and I got to play with my WD. I just call it Allis justifcation.

Pics of plowing my road.Strange to be the first one before the snowplow shows up.Made it 3/4 mile to the south and 1/4 mile to north.Could not get any father.Drifts just get too high for blade.Anywhere from 8-12 inches.Plowed several drives along the way.People tried to shove money in my pocket.One guy shoved a twenty in the toolbox when I wasn't looking and I found it when I got home.Gas money I guess,Heck I just like to play on the tractor.Several vehicles stuck father up the road about 1/8 mile father than I can get.
I will go back out after warming up and see how far I can get.I will post more pics later.
