Just shoveled eleven inches of snow. Ask me anything.
Last week it was eight inches this week eleven inches. Living here in the Western Michigan snow belt is bad enough with all these freepers over here. Keeping my fingers crossed we don't get eighteen next week.
By the way, the Grand River is frozen solid for eighteen feet here in Ottawa county. The flooding will begin as soon as the snow melts. Oh what fun it is.

1. Not good for those of us down river from
where it's snowed a lot this winter. Anyone know whether it's snowed a lot in Minnesota?

7. In my area (the Twin Cities)
We got in the neighborhood of six or seven inches, maybe a bit more, maybe a bit less. In other woeds, not a trivial snow storm, but hardly a blizzard for the ages.

However, since we've had so little this year it seemed like a lot.

5. Do you get plowed in too?
What I mean is do the snow plows leave a nice load of snow at the end of your driveway that is harder to shovel.
I am glad that they actually plowed the street, but I never remembered packed snow like that at the end of the drive at other places that I lived.
