What would you have done had you been Hood or another general in the West?
If I was Hood I would have shadowed Sherman deep into Georgia and attempted to counter attack him near Savannah while his supply lines were at his longest.

Jewel is owned by Super Valu. We got 23.2" of snow . had 5’ drifts all over. Hard to measure snow with all that wind. Houses on east side of block had snow drifts half way up to there front picture window. Woop de do, winter has finely arrived. so what it’s wis,ill winter. The press needs to get over it. Man everybody filppin out like it never happens. LOL

pfftp, Americans whining about snow.
We’ve got nothing up here in Canada.
If you don’t like the snow, let your car idle since the majority of you guys believe in that global warming crap.
My 74 Chevy Nova alone produces more C02 in an evening drive then an icelandic volcano.
Oh wait no… got that wrong… the 1 Volcano in iceland produced more carbon emissions then the estimated output for all of humanity for the last 200 years, and yet - the earth still cools.
Better sharpen your shovels.

I found it very humorous that a JEEP (like, your traditional jeep) couldnt make it up a small hill, but my pissant little Toyota got up it no problem.

Meanwhile in Montreal,QC…almost nothing!!!
Ah,ah,ah, Let it snow. :-o -
@Cmdr:
For the record, Tom Skilling and others were saying Midway is a much better site to take the official measurements.
Other than that, I had like everyone’s snow on top of mine too. My lowest point is in this picture, taken outside my garage. You can see it’s 30 inches, some places were up to my breast!
How about some more photos. We dont see any of that white stuff here in Florida.

Pain in the arse making it small enough to post here…my camera sucks, but it’s still 5 times too powerful.

Snow? That’s like frozen water falling from the sky right? I’ve heard of it. Best we can do here in Phoenix is some chilly mornings. Sigh…I guess it’s a burden i’ll have to live with. :-D

I’m so murdering you in your sleep! After that, I’ll have pleasent dreams of eating a Hawaiian feast in Maui!
Or better, Virgin Islands! (No taxes!)

I know how that works. I can only post one photo at a time.

I only measured what was pretty sheltered areas of snow. Areas where the cars blocked some, the overhand of the roof blocked some, etc. I got 30 to 35 inches of snow in total accumulation. That is, in the “low” parts.
With 50 mph winds, there is NO area that is sheltered. I believe you were measuring drifts.
There were no measurements on the map that had over 28"

Of course I was, and my entire quarter acre of property was one 30 inch or deeper drift.
Isnt that what I was saying?
-
A drift is not accumulated snow.
They are two different things, so no, that is not what you were saying
-
Yes it is, I said I shovelled 30 inches, I didnt say it snowed 30 inches.

you didn’t say this?:

Semantics people! Let’s give it up!

Really do not feel this is a fight worth having, doubly so as this is a place to relax and have fun.
However, I got 30-35 inches means I had to shovel 30-35 inches. I suppose there could have been confusion, despite the fact I also mentioned that I had much deeper areas and later clarified that I had gotten the snow from the roof and some neighbors as well.
The real issue is, when you have 30 inches or more to shovel, do you say the official accumulation was 5 inches, or do you say “crap, I have to shovel 30 inches of snow!”

I think this whole conversation is a snow job!

Ain’t you the one.

Then why did you reply? I know. You never will admit to ever being wrong and will post ad nauseam in an effort to outlast the other posters.

Contrary to what you may think, I was not trying to cause trouble. I merely asked where you lived because I thought it was amazing that you claimed that you had 30 inches of accumulation when the official total was only 20". I was trying to gauge the storm totals for the region and even posted a map of accumulations.
I am into meteorology, so to me, measuring a drift and declaring that an accumulated snow total are two very different things.
I am glad you cleared up the intent of your initial post, and that was all I really wanted.
Oh great, it’s snowing again.
