Walked out the door and met a 3 foot drift. The walkway here is over 2 feet deep, maybe as much as 2-½ feet.
It's even quiet for the country. All you can hear are the birds complaining.

Hit a 8 foot drift covering the back door of the house. had to go out the front and dig it out. Took about 2 and a half hours to get the back of the house cleared. When i was a kid this would have kept us out of school for at least 2 days provided it happened on a weekday rather than a weekend.
Orco is coming.
Orco? WTF is it with the Weather channel and their names? I see where we're supposed to get another storm on Wednesday. Preliminary totals are the same as they were for this one. Time will tell. I might just run out of beer.Quote:

Nemo, Orco, what's the next one gonna be called? Poontang?
You know it won't be Pamela.Quote:

BOSTON -- Meteorologists might not be sure whether the storm heading into the East Coast will drop 12 inches or 24, but they are sure about one thing – this storm is definitely, absolutely, not called Nemo.
But that’s what the Weather Channel has decided to call it, part of a policy announced in the fall in which the TV station will give names to winter storms so that people can more easily follow them.

I certainly hope so. "The wettest storm in recorded history!"Quote:
