We got about 2 feet around here and it's still coming down; the roads are awful. The governor told all "non-essential" state personnel to take first shift off. What did everyone else get?

Had about 6 inches in north Missouri. Then last night, the temps dropped and the wind picked up, there's some big drifts in my driveway, but the 4x4 will knock through those.

I'd say at least 18" We were told to stay home but plenty of people still went to work. My company was open but I told em yesterday I wouldn't be in. 50 miles one way in this is just dumb. The fence is a 4' fence and the buried car is a tc that I was gonna have towed out but I guess it'll be here a while now:

Where did you get the metal garage? I looked into them, but could only find completely round ones like you would find at a bus terminal. Just curious, "future expansion". How big is it? Details, lol.

As far as building it ourselfs well i worked in a metal fab shop for a many years so it's second nature to build stuff out of metal or steel to me.

Pfft 9 inches of snow. They won't even close schools for that here. It has to be over 12"-14" before we start to have any sort of problem. I love when all you people down south whine when you get snow:shakeass:. We get a lot of snow in Chicago but nothing like what the people in northern Indiana get. The get some lake effect snow storms that dump 3 feet of snow.

Oh. I thought maybe it was a kit of somesort, lol. I ended up buying a 12x24 wood preassembled building. It's built like a house is, just not "finished" on the inside. I posted pictures in the "Garagemahal" thread. But my 72 Olds Cutlass is in it, and it'd like something now either for the bird, or to house whatever i may get for a dd soon. Thats all.

We just came out of a bad cold snap here in town. They ended up shutting down all of the major highways around here, and the Mayor of Strathmore declared a state of emergency.
These pictures are of my dads car after it high centred in the middle of the road. the drifts appeared around the car over the span of 2 hours with heavy wind, and buried the passenger side. stuck on saturday, we had to wait until tuesday before a plow came within a kilometer of the car, and even then, they only cleared up to about 10 feet on either end. this stuff was packed so hard, my buddies step-dad got bored and drove his truck out onto a drift in their front yard. he left it there for a couple of hours and it didnt sink. it took 3 of us 2 and a half hours to dig and push it out. and that included about 20 or so minutes of hand digging the engine out.

We had a ton here, not so much now. Its been raining for the last couple of days.
The pic with the cop car in it was taken today, about 1 mile from my house.

The giant cruddy cell pic was just after dec 25th. I did my heater core, and came back to 16" of snow. My car was driving almost through the entire storm. Right after parking it I took that picture.

I'll have a pic or two for you guys in a couple of days. Were going to go from 60 to 25 or so with a biggish storm. Don,t know how big it really will be though.
