Yep... the Blizzard of '05 has hit the city of Lowell, Massachusetts, and needless to say, my car is totally buried in snow! There's at least a foot and a half, possibly 2 feet of snow out there already, and near-whiteout conditions with heavy winds. and we're not even halfway through the night yet...<br><br>I am watching it from my upstairs bedroom window as I write this... I should get a shot of my buried car from my window, it's sitting out front...<br><br>Oh, how I'm going to love the shovelling in the morning...<br><br>Let us hope the power holds up through the night and the rest of the storm........<br><br>Edit: Here's a supplemental piece for you to read that also happened: <a href='http://traysandor.4.forumer.com/index.p ... &f=15&t=96' target='_blank'>http://traysandor.4.forumer.com/index.p ... 15&t=96</a>

Snow? All we've had is gales and freezing temperatures.
The end is nigh!

Strange, there was a full day of snow here as well, after weeks of inactivity. We lost power for about two hours too. And in the norm of this topic so far, a song by me...<br><br><i>I simply must go - babby, it's cold outside<br>The answer is no - Ooh babby, it's cold outside<br>This welcome has been - I'm lucky that you dropped in<br>So nice and warm -- Look out the window at that storm<br>...<br>Well maybe just a half a drink more - Never such a blizzard before<br>I've got to go home - Oh, babby, you'll freeze out there<br>Say, lend me your comb - It's up to your knees out there<br>...<br>Ahh, but it's cold outside<br>babby it's cold outside</i>

We had between a half-foot and foot of snow here over Friday night, which was a downer because it prevented me from travelling this weekend. On the other hand, I do like snow.<br><br>At any rate, glad you survived it. I can't remember a time when I encountered such a storm as that.

We got 11 inches. Not as much as some of you others, but 11 inches is a pretty big storm for us.
