Does this look like 9 inches of snow to you?

Posted by Journey For Jess (West Fargo, United States) on 15 December 2008 in Miscellaneous.

9 inches of snow, 40mph winds, -15 degrees = 4 foot drifts
After not leaving the house for 44 hours due to the blizzard, I went out to start clearing the driveway, but the snowblower wouldn't start. I brought it in the house and let it thaw out to get it started. Then, as I was finishing the driveway both tires went flat. :( We went out to refill the tires and the first 5 airhoses we went to were out of order. :(:(:( Finally got home and started to clear the sidewalk (which according to the city of West Fargo is "my responsibility") where the drifts were even higher than those on my driveway. I couldn't resist taking a picture.
