We got maybe 4" total, but likely less. Lots of wind and drifting. Of course my boiler didn't want to run with it being so cold... found the issue to be the chimney was closed up from burning too much green wood... this is the first year I've noticed it this bad. My wife was looking at new boilers it was so bad lol. It's working fine now, just have to come up with a good way to scrape the chimney clean while it's burning...i think I'll make one out of pipe and a small bend for the handle then a larger pipe for the scraper. Almost like a shovel...
Just can't be too heavy.

Probably depends on who is talking to their wife or not. Maybe the news reporter was female?

What the snow lacked in quantity it made up for in quality. I think it has to do with the high velocity lake effect. The stuff packs up real fast and likes to stay that way.
I’ve managed sticking both the ATV and the kubota and spent half the day digging them out and retrieving them with the niner.
good times.

HaHaHa " Snowmageddon"
I still remember when the media called the flue a "Pandemic"
We maybe got 3" and with the blowing, I did not even need to fire up the tractor it all blew across the road into the ditch.

I'm at the very SW corner of Howell and I'd say we got close to that all said and done by 12am 12/27. We probably got 3" from the original storm, most of which blew away, another 3" of fluff throughout Christmas day, and another 2" the following 24 hours.

It can go home. I was enjoying the bleak barren wasteland of brown.
Today I had an appointment in Ann Arbor to get my new Duratracs put on my new Chinesium wheels. It took me an hour to get there because Washtenaw County can't afford plow trucks and even though I stayed off I94, every two miles there was a Lezbaru in the ditch and I was trapped behind qtips driving in multiple Cayennes. It took them an hour to get the tires balanced because Goodyear's machines went on the fritz. Should have been a fifteen minute job because I brought bare clean wheels and 4 new TPMS. Then I find out one of my wheels has more runout than I expected (cheap chinese shit) and is the only one I didn't check.
I drive home, which took 75 minutes (for a 22 minute drive) because the idiots that went in the ditch the first time forgot to give out the cluepons to their pals on how not to aim for the slush. I get home, and I'm washing the slush off my truck (I have an outdoor spigot with hot water) so I can get it inside and swap tires/wheels... and the fucking power goes out. I walk into town to check fuses, none are blown. So I look and see a bunch of people are out further in and figured it was the recloser. Found out nope, there is a line down in town burning someone's bushes. So we're going to be without power a while.
I expect by the time it does come on, we'll lose power again because there is nothing burning all the wet trees off the primary that comes down our road.
