I mean, one cool thing is that you get to pretend you're on Hoth. It certainly is like that out there.

After a foot or so for most people, especially after 18"+, the snow already takes maximum energy and effort to deal with for people and city infrastructures. It might as well be infinite at this point.
I don't buy it. All of those car doors look tight and closed.

Every time I think it's letting up it starts pouring down again.
My back hurts so much. Fuck shoveling 30 plus inches of snow.
Man all the posts I see like this.
I gotta say, that's the best part of lifting consistently. Shoveling ain't no thing. Remember to not twist your back when you toss the snow! Pivot your whole body.

All the shoveling complaints: get a snowblower. Damn, doing the drive was a breeze.

Holy shit we got luck in Williamsport, PA. Barely skimmed by the edge and only got a dusting.

Holy Hell, here in Berks PA we have 27" of snow already, AND IT'S STILL COMING down like a whitewash blizzard!!!!
We're being buried in snow. My tractor can't plow it, I've tried, gonna have to dig out by hand tomorrow. And Monday. And maybe even into Tuesday....
Grew up in the Douglassville area and now I'm outside of DC. Snow everywhere!
And hell no, 1) they suck to store 2) unless you're in Chicago or Buffalo, you only really need it once a decade and 3) you're now the neighborhood snow clearing servant.
Looks like Russia or North Korea...?
No way. Arlington, VA

Why... why were you at work? Do you work for the news or a power company?
I was shoveling last night every hour or so. Got up today, still a ton of snow to clear. Pace yourself.

Less than a quarter mile visibility in DC right now.
visibility-wise it's the worst it's been through this storm right now just south of the DC area
i can't tell if it's new snow, or old snow blowing sideways, or old snow blowing off the roof.
any shoveling that I did in the morning was totally useless, like raking leaves during a hurricane. not even a sign of where I shoveled.
edit: like 1/8 mile or less visibility

No, I work Security. I actually drove here this morning around 5:45am. Now I'm stuck here. But I do have work again tomorrow, so I'll already be here.
This is just absolutely amazing! Stay boss Roker!

Pace yourself dude. We'll make it through this!

That's a bunch of bologna!
Wow pics from the heights on GAF.
Taken from my window in Upper Manhattan. First blizzard I've experienced in 15 years and this is rad.

Ballston.
Still getting creamed
Went to 7-11 to grab a few things and snapped a couple.
Love the view behind my computer from the 19th floor.

I've only been here 3 weeks!
Just went down to the street. Took a few pics.
This is our driveway:
Our street. It's been plowed but there's still a good layer of packed snow on top:
Cows just eating and chilling:
The run looks cool:
Absolutely beautiful. I love snow soooooo much.

there we go,
i don't wanna shovel this, halp me.
it's only like this once every 5 years or so
where you at dawg?TBH, I think this is the worst one I've seen, including '96 and 2010, but we'll see when it's all over and done with, because I live further away from the city than I did then, so my totals now are definitely higher
We bought a snow blower for our house just a few weeks ago. Luckily Boston is only getting 1-3 inches of snow.

Wind tunnel down N->S down the street shaved the sides and made a funny little pocket in front of my Honda Pilot.
Fine. It takes up too much room though.
Philly (or area) doesn't need snowblowers. Every year. Ha. Berks County represent, go shovel.
If you don't help your neighbors then, you're mean.

I grew up in Yakutsk, Siberia (known as the coldest, permanently inhabited place in the world). This really takes me back!
So, if you're wondering what it's like living there and you're in an area that's gotten 20+", imagine this, pretty much every day, for months on end, with average temperatures about 40 degrees lower.

like, I understand it being cold, and large total snow accumulations, happens in Poland, but are there frequent periods where within 36 hours it snows 50cm+? because that's unusual even in the northern european countries (though obviously more frequent than in DC)

Took these leaving my girl's place in Eastern Market and walking towards the capital. These were taken around 1pm; it's been snowing a lot heavier since taking these.

SPOILER: Columbus finds America
Lol thought that looked familiar. I'm by the Gw bridge and it is dead out there. Can't believe it still hasn't stopped.

Well yeah I guess not this heavy frequently; just sustained moderate snow that seems to last forever.
I'm gearing up to go snap a few more pics of the GW. Hudson Parkway is dead at this point; it's all Sanitation Department. I dunno why but I'm giddy with excitement like never before and I loathe the snow. I feel sorry for the guy working the little booth underneath the bridge.
