Mar. 18th, 2015 06:44 pmCan you stand another weather post? We've really had Snowmageddon today. Sunday's storm was a lot but overnight and most of today was the mother of storms for this year, probably this decade. The last time we had this much in a day was in 2004 with "White Juan". It was called that because it came a few months after Hurricane Juan caused a lot of damage here. The snowstorm was pretty nasty as well, shutting everything down that could be shut down. Today, too. They decided last night to pull the busses today, reevaluating through the day. They haven't been on the road all day.
It looks like the plow has been on our street but it's probably only just passable. The parking lot outside had a lot of buried cars though I can see a lot of them seem to have been cleaned off and people are clearing around them. Looks like a plow has gone up the centre as well. It hasn't plowed out the driveway to the underground parking in the building, not as of a half hour ago or so. I went downstairs to take some garbage to the garage and have a look. The bank is still blocking the street at the end of the driveway. I went to the lobby, expecting to see us completely snowed in but a maintenance guy was out there making a start on the shoveling, bless him. I noticed a woman coming in from the street, over the snowbank and trying to get to the building. She went down into the snow a couple of times up to her arse. When she got to the cleared spot, she gave the guy a big hug! I wonder if he'll actually shovel a path out of the bus stop. If not, I'm not sure how we can get to the street to get to the bus tomorrow. Could be tricky.
My mother's driveway is completely buried. I think my nephew is going to clear a path to the cars and dig one of them out. My brother in law is apparently bringing the snow blower to come in from the road. Once one car can get out, he can clear more around the other car. There's just no place to put the snow!
We haven't had snow like we've had this winter in a long time. We usually get a few good snowstorms but spaced out. Since February, it's been one or two a week and a couple of them with nasty freezing rain on top of it. This is just the icing on the cake as it were. Tomorrow should be interesting.
