Re: (ET) Snow topped the blower, now what?

I'm sorta jealous.

As you all know we typically get 12-14 ft of snow annually. Well I
have 3" on the ground now. Haven't had over 18" at one time all
season.

The nor'easter that is hitting Chris is staying south of us, no snow
predicted for the next week. I haven't even had the 'trak out this
winter. Just using shovels.
