The bottom too, where the drive meets the street - the enormous highway plow came in the cul de sac and made one gigantic 10' pass, swung around and right back out, salt shooting out the back dispenser. It was too much for my snow thrower at that point and i had to shovel a path through it so that the machine could then chew off walls in foot wide shavings to get it done. It wasn't real heavy and wet either, call it "regular" snow (if we were Inuit we'd know what it was), but there was a lot of it for one snowfall. Shut down the whole upper east coast up to NY from like Virginia. Impressive storm.

There's some warmer air passing through here now and melting our snow, so hopefully some of that will get to the East Coast.Jonny Mnemonichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06516458612879773986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4388504906915444063.post-49370465278313168852016-01-24T07:09:10.837-06:002016-01-24T07:09:10.837-06:00Good catch, Jonny!

The drifts are much deeper. i have a window sized drift covering my front porch.<br /><br />Gonna head out and do the driveway, hopefully for the last time with this storm. i'll be back in a while.<br /><br />[here's something you don't wanna wake up to]<br />Mysterious earth crack nearly a kilometer in length terrifies residents of Aponte, Colombia <br />http://www.sott.net/article/310880-Mysterious-earth-crack-nearly-a-kilometer-in-length-terrifies-residents-of-Aponte-Colombia<br /><br />What started with a small fissure in early 2015 is today a giant mysterious earth crack nearly a kilometer in length that crosses the village of Aponte, Colombia. The crack has caused enormous damage to roads and houses in the village of Aponte in Nariño. At least 210 families are affected by this geological anomaly. <br /><br />The gigantic crack is growing and devastating Aponte, Colombia, but nobody knows its origin. <br /><br /> The unexplained crack in the ground is 1,200 meters long and 50 centimeters wide. At some points its depth reaches up to four meters. <br /><br />28 inches of snow, floods, emergency in New York: Deadly snowstorm 'Jonas' hits US East Coast <br />http://www.sott.net/article/310879-28-inches-of-snow-floods-emergency-in-New-York-Deadly-snowstorm-Jonas-hits-US-East-Coast<br /><br />Blizzard Fueled By Ocean Heat Cripples Eastern US, Floods Coast With Historic Storm Surge<br />http://robertscribbler.com/2016/01/23/blizzard-fueled-by-ocean-heat-cripples-eastern-us-floods-coast-with-historic-storm-surge/<br /><br />Warm Arctic Storms Aim to Unfreeze the North Pole Again — That’s 55 Degrees (F) Above Normal For January<br />http://robertscribbler.com/2016/01/24/warm-arctic-storms-aim-to-unfreeze-the-north-pole-again-thats-55-degrees-f-above-normal-for-january/<br /><br />TomAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4388504906915444063.post-90038663368925996872016-01-24T05:27:34.253-06:002016-01-24T05:27:34.253-06:00Breaking - M6.8 earthquake strikes on the coast in...Breaking - M6.8 earthquake strikes on the coast in southern Alaska:<br /><br />http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/ak12496371#general_summary<br />Jonny Mnemonichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06516458612879773986noreply@blogger.com
