Here we go again!

[elleng]

with help, thank goodness!

1. Blowing snow onto parked cars doesn't seem that helpful.

[elleng]

2. Clearing the walking path, helps a bit,

later, parking lot itself is 'cleared,' and later later, drivers and neighbors clear off the cars. Its a process!

[alfredo]

3. It's that pile of compacted snow blocking in the cars that's a drag. My car is frozen shut.

[elleng]

4. Happened to some 10? days ago,

most got out with help of neighbor kids. Obviously problems with huge amounts of snow: Where can it go??? I waited till 'melt' occurred, and will wait again!

[alfredo]

7. We have no kids, but I'm experienced with driving in the snow, and I have a standard shift.

Automatics don't seem to give the control needed for such conditions.

5. Oh, I'm so sorry.

It's beyond gorgeous here--clear blue skies and warming to mid-30s during the day. This has been the winter that wasn't in Anchorage.

[elleng]

9. We're ok, Blue,

really can't complain too much, and very happy its gorgeous there and you're enjoying it.

20. I saw that on the news tonight.

This has certainly been a winter to remember, no matter where you live.

6. My heart goes out to you elleng.....

But can't help thinking better you guys than us here in MA.

I've had it with this winter and the cold!

[elleng]

10. Thanks but we're really ok, Little Star,

just fed up.

[Solly Mack]

8. Damn. Good shots though! :)

[elleng]

11. Thanks, Solly Mack,

was hoping for some decent shots out of this 'misery!' ('Misery' is an overstatement, really. Am fed up with being homebound, but home is pleasant after all.)

12. Your car is covered and some $%@ comes along and blows more on it?

Throw it back in the sidewalk!

[elleng]

13. We need the sidewalk so we can walk to the mailbox!

(and borrow wine from the neighbors!) Will add to the economy by paying neighborhood kids to clear the car, after the parking lot is plowed, so we can maybe go OUT to see movies we've missed!

[elleng]

14. and a very nice neighbor cleared the car, gratis!!!

[Curmudgeoness]

15. I laughed so hard at that second picture,

that I thought it would be a great picture for the "winter contest". I know it isn't funny to have all that snow blown onto your car, but, well, it is funny. (Especially since a neighbor cleaned the car for you.)

[elleng]

16. Yes, many reactions here to that pic!

An 'eye opener' for the winter contest, eh???

Prefer this, blowing toward the houses???

[Curmudgeoness]

17. Nope, I don't prefer this one.

Blow toward the cars was just hilarious. Also, in this one, you don't see all the snow blowing out. But it is all about the snow on the cars.

[elleng]

18. Right, first better story and pic.
