Hope everyone got through the storm ok. I got 24 inches of snow with drifts at my place. Took me 5 hours on Saturday to clear my 180 foot driveway to the street and 2 hours yesterday to liberate my cars and deck.

Side roads are cleared to 1 lane and in places 1 1/2 lanes. Main roads are pretty good but sight lines are not great due to the high snow piles.

My youngest son lives in Niantic and was out of power from Late Friday until 1300 Sunday. Got down to 40 in his apartment.

We got like 32 inches here in Portland. It took till 1pm yesterday to have them plow my road. I did my driveway on Saturday then Had to snowblow a 5 foot wall at the end of my driveway when they plowed the street on Sunday. Then i went down to my sister house and since she owns her own private road myself and my brother inlaw snowblowed the whole road

Sounds like you were busy!

Yes 7 hours outside Saturday and then another 6 hours on Sunday. I am hurting today. I can't believe how out of shape I am

In the Northwest most corner, Lakeville less than 18" things have been open all the time. Drifting only big problem Saturday.

Skywarn spotter says 36.2" in Oxford. Driveway done with the John Deere, but still plenty of hand shovelling and roof raking. Sore back, sore shoulders, sore paws, ...

What Storm?

[JohnFH]

Pain, I had the same thing, but my door opens out. I had to climb out a window.

Enfield got nailed. All I can say is I am thankful for our two car garage and our snowblower.
Not that spending 12 1/2 hours over two days was fun but we never lost power and had plenty of food and gas.
Hopefully everyone is safe, warm, and injury free..

I did not have to climb out a window but same drift on the door.

[JohnFH]

I'm thinking about getting a new door

Thankfully we don't use our front door much and having snow that deep just keeps unwanted visitors away. The storm door keeps the water out.
