snowed in

yes, we got snow. deep snow. The kind of snow that strands you. Wind sending the 23 inches of snow fall into 4 - 6 foot drifts. My car sits stuck in the alley. Waiting on the plows to clear a path so I can go to work.  Though from what I am hearing, not much mail is getting through. I have a clear path from front porch to sidewalk but there is no way a letter carrier is getting to most of the mailboxes here! I get tired just looking at all this snow let alone trying to actually trudge through it.
this is the view down my alley...

You really got hit this time. We had a drift so big and blown in so hard that the snowplow got stuck. What do you do when even the snowplow gets stuck? Somehow they must have got it out because the drift is gone now.

Wow. What else can one say but Wow? So am I to take it that you are a mail carrier? Tough job, and thank you for your part.

I had pictures and commentary from my son who lives in Westmont- all I could say was 'wow', too. We've had really cold weather this week, but at least we aren't buried in the white stuff.

I was living in the Chicago area in the late 70's when the monster storm that cost Jane Byrne her mayor's job hit. Sounds like this one rivals that! It will be interesting to see how long it takes the city to get unburied this time!

I hear ya, lady, loud and clear!! I've been thinking about all of you up there on the lakes and in New York. I cannot even imagine expecting mail in that kind of weather. Hope you get a couple of days off, but then we all know what that means...afterward. Ugh!
