They sat about 10-12 inches on south-central Long Island, but it's hard to measure. With all the wind there's 2.5-3 feet near fences, bushes and such windbreaks but still some grass poking up in the middle of the lawn. The snowplows pushed a few feet of packed snow across the driveway, though. Your tax dollars at work.
The bad thing is my Eagle EyeX6 SE's were 'out for delivery' yesterday. Then, in the late afternoon the status changed to 'Notice Left (No Authorized Recipient Available)'. There were no footprints in the snow, so they didn't try to deliver. Whatever happened to "Neither rain nor snow nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds."? It didn't really get bad until ~10PM. Probably closed today, too.
+1! I was talking about bumper hitching just the other day.
When I was about 15 my little brothers each got a set of “Snow Boats” for Christmas. They were these cheap little skis, more like little sleds you strapped on your boots. Strap those babies on and find an oil delivery truck and you could go for miles!
One Christmas got a brand new Ski Jacket. My Snorkel Jacket was still soaked from the night before, so I wore the Ski jacket and when belly hitching, the guy dragged us across an intersection that was dry trying to knock us off, I made it across, but my new ski jacket was shredded. A couple day’s later the ole man asked why I wasn’t wearing it? I told him it was for skiing? Didn’t go skiing for a long time……then I out grew it!
I just got done clearing out my driveway with my snow blower. I had about 6 inches with a changeover to freezing rain. The temps dropped like a rock and it is back to snow again. Its about 17 degrees out now.
