The Kansas City area was hit with a pretty impressive snow storm yesterday. Our neighborhood received 13.5 inches of snow. Traveling was crippled as multiple cars were stranded throughout the side streets and highways. Fortunately, we didn’t have to get out that much – only for an orthodontist appointment early in the morning (more on that later).
It took 4 separate sessions of shoveling the snow to keep the driveway clear. The first was the worst as there was already about 6 or 7 inches on the ground. After completing about 3/4 of the driveway, the neighbor showed up with his snowblower. Then, we completed 4 other driveways in the neighborhood – all with the help of the neighbors. At one point we had 7 people out shoveling and snowblowing.
Finally, a snowplow came through late in the evening and cleared the street – covering the end of the driveway with a 2-foot wall of snow. Out one more time to clear the wall.
My hands are aching today from gripping the snow shovel for so long yesterday.
Dude – you’re not even close to snowmageddon. When we had snowmageddon in DC, we had back to back blizzards and close to 2.5 feet of snow. Total for the year was close to 6 feet – and it came in a fairly compressed amount of time.
It’s the largest snowfall here since 1912 – makes it a big deal for the area.
I don’t think we’re really even supposed to get any snow. But point taken – it was still a lot.
