Every county in the viewing area, except 1 is in a level 3. That means stay the fuck home.

12.4" of snow and high winds causing many roads to simply be unpassable. Where I am, they're not known for their snow plowing, so FB is littered with stories of roads that can't even be seen and larger 4x4s not even attempting.

So far...

Local news says we now have 17" of snow on the ground. Heavy stuff is over now though.

One kid outside playing. Two kids inside and probably just woke up a little bit ago.

The wife outside taking care of the driveway because she knows what's good for her! Actually, because I'm still on medical lockdown for my broken ribs and technically working. Plus, she loves using the snow blower and is going to take it into the backyard to help the one kid build a sledding hill with it.

So, did I miss how you broke your ribs? It wasn't you passing out again was it?

I would tell you, but the first rule and all...

Speaking of malls, our biggest is closed due to the storm.

You were masturbating when someone pressed on your chest to get you to pass out while it happened?

He broke them trying to self-fellate.

The key is to just have the bottom 2 on each side removed.

If you're going to do something, don't do it half-assed.

Over blown. Had a trip to Jackson, MI this morning. Took an extra 10 minutes to make the hour long drive there. No extra time for the drive home. Media inflates everything so you will click on it. If there was 17" anywhere, it was due to drifting, which means you were seeing grass in other areas.

Not down my way. The new foot of snow went on top of the 8" we already had accumulated. No grass to be seen on my property, anyway.

It wasn't as bad up north, which is probably why Cake still somehow sees grass? We haven't seen grass around here in a while. The additional 12.5" of snow sits on top of the existing stuff we had, like Gordo said.

Some side roads are still impassable. Main roads are fine, but still slick in spots and still have snow on them in less traveled places. Expressways are pretty clear, particularly downtown.

I just now got out there to clear my driveway. I'd say this is the second-most snow I've seen out there in 15 years. Maybe 3rd most.

When I got out the snow blower Tuesday the snow was easily over 12" deep and it wasn't a drift. It was consistently even.

I remember a few years back we might have had more snow on the ground, but a majority of it didn't come all at once.
