The Blizzard Back Home

I'm shaking my head at the recent blast of snow that has fallen over the RRV in the past couple weeks. In particular, this latest blizzard is the kind of epic storm I had expected to experience but didn't.

There was a storm that dumped about a foot of snow in October 2001, but I was out of town for that one and the snow all melted. It wasn't a blizzard anyway. Another storm did bring about 14 inches in February, I think it was 2003 but don't quote me on that. That was probably the closest thing to the epic

Then there was the morning I woke up in Winter 2005 where we had 2-3 foot drifts in the driveway but hadn't really had much snow. It was almost 100% the stuff from the yard (and other nearby yards).

Word is that the BSA is back in action. The BSA is the "Benevolent Snowblowers Association", and consists of neighbors who take turns clearing the sidewalks. While they're at it, they'll take a trip up and down your driveway.
