I live in the SE part of Connecticut and in the last round of storms, judging by the height my snowblower was digging out on my driveway, we got about 18-20". This is on top of the 2.5 feet that already was sitting on my property. It's strange walking down my driveway to go pick up the mail and having the snow be halfway up my chest. Makes it dangerous to pull out of my driveway because the town went and piled up the snow on the sides of my driveway. So I basically have to pull out blind and pray I don't get hit.

We're supposed to get more snow next week on Wednesday. That sucks because I have to fly down to Orlando, Florida for a business meeting and don't want to get stuck up at Bradley due to the weather. Last time I had to go to Miami for a meeting I was stuck in the airport for a good long while before we finally took off into the heart of a blizzard.

This winter has just been hell. My roof will definitely need repairs after this storm due to all the ice that is forming up there. When all of this melts, there is going to be some MASSIVE flooding because we just haven't had any warm weather to allow it to melt away.
