Our lights kept blinking last night but the power is still on so far.

I went out at 530 this AM to drive the fory miles to work. I have a 1/4 mile driveway but I was unfazed. Until I backed my fourwheel drive with diff lock on out of the garage. The snow was so deep and packed that it just lifted the body up. I managed to crab it into the garage, and called to say I would be late.
I called my plow man and his wife said that he was out and stuck in his two ton plow rig. He was waiting for some help to arrive in the form of his giant tractor plow.
Haven't seen a snow like this for a while.... and I am no wuss.
Up hill... both ways.
Let's just say my delay is Jetport related.
OIC! You mean they don't have it open yet?
I wonder if southern Maine got hit harder then we did. We got it pretty good, but traffic is moving up here. If your that bogged down in southern Maine, then you must have gotten the worst of it.
It looks like it's going to happen this summer and the following winter!
There was no Maine Forest Winter Rally this winter due to new landowners.
It looks like both the summer and winter rallies will happen this year!
The race will be organized by Rally America.
About 100 cars competing on squirrely logging roads at over 100 MPH!
I don't know if it's open yet or not. The stuff I need for my job was supposed to arrive in Portland very early this morning and I don't know if it's even gotten there at all.
If I can afford it, I'm going to get her a snowblower before next winter.
Or at least a new shovel...

You're so bad. LOL! She will stick that shovel where the sun don't shine. haha!
*GASP!* I can't believe I'm the first:
"It's Bush's fault!"
Don't worry, Dennis Quaid will be there soon to spirit you to the warm safety of Mexico, so keep those books burning! ;)
Whoa--you need a snow thrower (or a plow for the front of your 4WD).
Global Warming.
It's a chilly 48° here...
Here on the western Connecticut shoreline we didn't even get rain. The kids and I were outside in the hot tub last night. 'Twas excellent.
Why are you late???
The wind was terrible! Every time I took one step forward, I was blown back two!
Hmmmm, then you should have never gotten here.
I wouldn't have, if I didn't turn around to go home...
Yep, rain earlier from the "Storm." It was windy last night as I refilled the hot tub, watered down the skating rink again while looking across the sound through the perfectly clear night sky. Cool, but perfectly clear.
This stuff is packing in real good. Can't tell how deep it is because of the drifts, but they pack hard. Snowblower in on lock and load and only three feet away from the door, but a wall of packed snow inbetween. Still coming down full speed.
I'd say we have about 18" of it in Lewiston. The bottom 3" are heavy and very wet. Still waiting for my plow man.
It's foggy and light snow falling up here. You in southern Maine?
I have been trying to call the Doctor's office. They open at 8, and it's going on 10 and their answering machine is still on. Darn it!
