Hey RIP - we got about the same - 4 feet. When I went to go out today (yes my office was open can you imagine) the drift at the end of my driveway was over the hood of my car where the plow had gone thru. I said to myself you can not get stuck because there is no one to help you out. So I backed up and floored it and plowed right thru the bank. It was a real Dukes of Hazzard moment but I made it out. Thank goodness for 4 wheel drive. There is also the compound problem of where to put the snow since there is so much. But no matter how much we got yesterday we still have not gotten as much as some parts of NY State. For that I am thankful. Stay warm and dry. Good luck shoveling out. I know exactly how you feel.

I heard you guys got it pretty bad. We had a lot of ice yesterday. Trees looked like big popsicles. When the wind started, trees (from the weight), started falling................time to get off the roads .
