Anyone snowed in?

Man, with all this wicked weather the last couple days, I'm curious to see who got the worst of it?

Not snowed in but I had an appointment yesterday at 4 and it was very hard to drive just accross town! There were lots of breakdowns, likely due to dead batteries. Plus spinouts and such. This idiot pulled out in front of me with his van and his ass end skidded out. I was lucky not to hit him since we had a brief change over to rain when then froze up so the roads were icy in spots. What a moron! Later I was stuck in a snowbank but a couple of nice chaps gave me a push out.

i was still wearing a t-shirt outside today, and was far from being cold.

Yeah, that change to rain was only for a few minutes but it was enough to put a spiffy ice film under the snow and also make the snow too sticky and heavy to move with a regular shovel.

The thunder and lightning during the blizzard part of the storm was a nice touch, too.

We had about 16 inches total.
