Wow nice pics! I haven't uploaded mine yet but we got a good amount of snow that's for sure. They thought it was gonna beat the 1982 blizzard record of 18 inches in the city but it didn't. Columbia about an hour west of us got over 2 feet though. Up at the shop my dad said there was well over a foot of snow up there & there's gotta be close, not over a foot here. Tomorrow I'm gonna try to find a ruler & check myself =D I'll try to upload pics tomm

Here are some of my pics...
The front of the monte after the crazy drive home from school on Monday morning


Kind of blurry but my wiper arms were covered in a thick coat of ice...even when I didn't need my wipers on the highway I kept them on anyway so they wouldn't freeze to the windshield

Crazy think layer of ice on my side mirrors


The new van all iced up from my moms trip home from school that morning

The back steps covered in ice..





Monday night was a fun night filled with tonss of ice. My dad hadn't brought the old van home yet but the new van was having fun getting all iced up alone outside lol



Pics from Wednesday...took pics of Tuesday I think on my phone but I haven't uploaded them yet...it was extremely windy all day on Wednesday...it was like a snow storm (instead of a sand storm lol)



Our roads were (& still are bad & slippery) not uncovered very well

It looks like almost 2 feet of snow we got - couldn't believe it when I saw it last night for the first time. Ryan, I hope they plowed your street - I know some streets in Chicago are still not plowed.

Unfortunately not gonna hit 70's today- looks like weather.com is saying high of 58*, but it looks like it may almost hit 70 tomorrow at least- and then hopefully leveling back out to normal for awhile.

I guess I can't complain too much- at least I don't have to shovel anything

Neighbor's house.


At least 2 and a half foot drive I had to step through to get to my garage.

I don't dare to attempt to go in my back yard. I hope the next door neighbor's kid doesn't get lost back there!
