Snow, snow, snow.

"Bloody lot of snow. I shoveled about 6-8" of it at 10am, and saw Carol off at 11am. I'm nervous about her driving back to Toronto in a Blizzard, but apparently the worst of the storm is rapidly moving east while she's heading west so with luck she drove out of the worst of it around Albany. But I am still anxiously awaiting word that she's home safe.
After seeing her off I went and got breakfast then got to work for noon. Worked an hour and a half which mainly consisted of Fun With Trucks (will prolly post about it in improbable_cars), then was sent home at 1:30pm. Got home to discover the plow truck had left a pile at the end of the driveway taller than The Cat's hood. I floored it and punched through, shooting snow over the hood onto the windshield then slewed into the snow covered driveway.
Around 2pm my sister and I went out and cleared the 6" that had acummulated in the four hours since I last cleared it. I just looked outside a 1/2hour ago and there is at least another 2-3" on the driveway again.

So we're mostly snowed in here, one of our cats is snowed in at some friends two houses down."

Updates

"We shoveled the driveway again at 6pm, four hours after the last time. There was another 6-8" on the ground, and it was wetter and heavier this time. We have just about run out of places to put the snow. I have a feeling that we're goign to have to do a lot of tomorrow morning's clearing by hand because the snowbanks are just about too high for the snowblower to clear them.
Carol called around 7-7:30ish. She's still not home and hasn't even reached Buffalo yet. She's seen lots of cars, SUVs, and semis off the road and basicly wishes she had taken the extra vacation day and waited out the storm."

(no subject)

Shoveled again, 2-3" this time.
No word from Carol.
I think I'm going to call out from work. After all, my job is to check in the shipment, there is no way the guy delivered the shipment in this crap. Therefore there is no reason for me to be there. How's that for rationalization?"

Update 11:10pm: Carol is home safe, and "never wants to drive anywhere again."
