We don't normally get that much in one day. That storm just camped over us instead of moving off. A six-inch snowfall is more the average - but there are just enough real dumpers that you want a powerful snow blower in your garage! One year we got something like six feet of it in three days - the piles at the end of my drive were so tall, the blower couldn't get any more to the top of them!
The plows finally got down our street last night about 8, leaving a 3-foot drift across every driveway. Had to get up this morning and run the blower for a half hour to get a slot JUST wide enough for my wife to get to work. Have to finish it after my oatmeal.
Oh joy. They predict another storm this afternoon and evening.
BUT, we are still in a drought, and if it doesn't snow, we don't drink the next summer. We get 100% of our water from snow in Utah - and that's the truth. So this is good. Really. Keep saying that to yourself, Rocky.
