Good news out of a disaster.....thanks for the update OS! I hope the Great Barrier Reef is not severely affected! Hang in there guys! You Aussies are tough!
Yup! The worst I've been thru since I moved here! When I used to live in Northern Montana close to the Canadian border, this was nothing!
For Nanuq, it's just a gust of Snow!
Whew......what a day! Finally dug out, but the road in our cul-de-sac is still buried! Nobody could get in or out! The city doesn't have enough snow plow trucks to clean the whole town in 12 hours!
I woke up to this.........
Front stoop:
Back porch:
and then some:
and cars thawing out after a freezing nite in the garage:
At least the German RWD made it home after going thru this:
Well, I could officially declare this as a Blizzard.....we're having wind gust of 60-70MPH. Just cleaned my driveway of 6-8" of snow and now there's another 2" of accumulation already......that just in a span of 45 mins. It's suppose to intensify by midnight. We might just get the 2 feet that is forecasted! Yoohoo!
Some pix of downtown Chicago when it started:
My driveway:
When I got home:
with the flash on:
After I snow blow:
and the wind picking up:
This is going to be an interesting afternoon......especially without my SUV! I guess the German Car will be tested today! Will update everyone as this progress!
We're down to 10ft visibility now, 22F and a Wind of 30MPH! WindChill of -7, Nanuq! Zip it! Don't even say a word!
The strap should enhanced the watch......that Cobra does not.........for me anyway. Maybe on a 113 or 207a and other white faced PAMs! But, hey, if you like it, who cares, right?
