Da Blizzard of 2010 - Post One

I don't know for sure if this storm is truly a blizzard, but the hype surrounding it certainly qualifies it for blizzard status. We've heard nothing but "snow, snow, snow!" on the news and radio. We've seen the long lines of people buying multiple cartloads of groceries to keep them alive when they become trapped in their homes for...a day. Shovels and sleds are sold out at every store in the area yet the phone calls still swamp the switchboard -"I know this is a silly question, but do you have any shovels left?" -if you know it's a silly question, why do you call to ask? No shovels, but the store has plenty of swimsuits and sandals!
So the snow is coming down. And continues to come down.
This is outside the deck door. I shovelled a path for the dog right before we turned in for the night. The path was clean down to the wood on the deck. Now, not so much.

The picture below shows the top seven inches of a three foot tall chain link fence. There has been some drifting, but not much at the fence line.
