I wish.....

No, you don't wish.  Digging out the driveway of 12+" of snow for 4 vehicles isn't something someone looks forward to as a fun task, unless the person thrives on pushing lungs and muscles to the limit while enduring aches of what should be a stronger back. Thanks to a more or less sedentary life, partly due to sitting behind a desk 40 hours a week, and reminiscing of the earlier days of marathon running, my back tomorrow will, no doubt, be as sore as a KO victim in the 10th round of a boxing match tomorrow.  A snow storm, especially if it is the second 12+"  storm in as many months, adding to the fact of record-breaking cold temperatures, assists in making life quite interesting for several days.

I'd love it if we got snow like that sometimes around here.  I'd be the only fool out driving in it. ;D

Ditto...I think we have had at most, 4 inches in one fall this year. There is maybe drifts 1-1.5 ft tall around here.....bad.

We got maaaaaaybe like 0.42" accumulation.   If they say on the news it's gonna snow, they close up the schools and everybody clears out the stores of all the bread and milk...lol  I dunno why, but if Im gonna be stranded I want somethin better than bread and milk to live on.   Then the next mornin there's only snow on the grass and the roads are void of cars.  so I go out and sunday drive since I'm the only one out there...lol  And I never really see anybody stuck in the ditches except for the 4x4's.  guess they weren't so invincible afterall  ;D

that's exactly what happens.  These city 4x4 drivers...you know, the ones who really don't know anything about 4x4's and surely don't use them off road to get used to their handling, etc.. are the only  ones who spin around and end up on their roofs or off the road.  The front wheel drive car drivers pass right on by them no problem.  There is a sense of invincibility i guess when one drives the 4x4's with more clearance or whatever, they end up going too fast.

It figures, I live a mile from the Lakeside Community in Henrico Country and this is from the Richmond Times-Dispatch, the Richmond paper....the largest amt of reported snow is from Lakeside, 14 inches.



 Area snowfall yesterday reached 14 inches in Henrico County's Lakeside, 13 inches in Short Pump, 12.8 inches in Studley in Hanover County, 11.4 inches in Richmond, 11 inches in Chesterfield County and 9.5 inches at Richmond International Airport, the National Weather Service said. Across the state, unusually high snowfalls included 9 inches in Virginia Beach.
