Need Some Snow? 3 feet in 2 days
 
What a mess in Halifax Nova Scotia. They had 3 feet of snow in two days there and everything is closed. You can't get around anywhere. My parents live there and they say it's unbelievable.
Damn, this after a monster hurricane knocked half the trees in all the major parks in September.

Here's some info cut and pasted:
"Officials were estimating it could take days to clear roads and runways of the more than 90 centimetres (36 inches) of snow that had fallen since late Wednesday.

In some places much of it was pushed into huge drifts by wind gusts of up to 100-kilometres-an-hour (63 milesperhour), reducing four lane boulevards to narrow walking paths.

"We're telling people, particularly in the residential areas if there's an emergency we'll get to you. But, don't stand in the window waiting for the plow to come," said John O'Brien, Communications Director for Halifax Regional Municipality.

He estimated it would be Monday before things started returning to normal.

Described as a weather bomb by Environment Canada, the storm obliterated Halifax's one-day snowfall record of 50.8 centimetres set in 1944.

The snow will have to be trucked out of the downtown core because there is no place to put it.

All federal and provincial government offices and schools remained closed Friday, along with most businesses."

YeeHaw!

We got 7 feet in 24 hours last year - during Friday Rush Hour!

3 feet in 2 days is nothing :D

I got my car stuck at the end of my driveway this morning.
My father in-law had to go over with a tractor to pull me out.

That was only 12inches.

Now 3 feet that would be interesting.

We have enough snow here as well, its finally all starting to melt. My front door is still completely covered with snow up to the middle of the door. We come in the side and during the last snow fall I said screw it im not shoveling all that :D

We can now get up the driveway without having to pull the car up with the 4 wheeler :)

Spring is coming soon hopefully.

We had 4 feet the Christmas before last. It does suck when you get that much so quickly. I got stuck plowing my driveway about a 1/2 dozen times. But that was after the tire store pumped my tires up to 110 pounds of pressure. Once I dropped them back to their normal 80 pounds, there was no more getting stuck.
