Reports from local media show my home in the 36-48" band of what has fallen so far. Unlike the folks east of us who had to deal with 40-50 mph gusts, thankfully the wind has been light to moderate, but it's still enough to form some impressive drifts.
We haven't even tried to clear the driveway yet; while we have an ATV with a plow I don't think it's equipped for that much snow at once. We did make a path in the back yard so the dogs can go out to potty, and a path to the firewood in case the power goes out and we need to rely on the wood stove for heat.
Before we left work on Friday - at noon, because the site closed - we set up a small office pool of when the site would re-open. At the time the predicted accumulation was only 24" so I said Tuesday at noon. I should have said we'd be out for a week.
