Talking Finding Nemo

Anyone else out in Suffolk County NY have to dig their SC out today? Nearly two feet on top on the sides etc... everywhere. Some pics...

Buried.


Little progress...


Pitbull having a good time...


Giving my exhaust pipes an opening to breath...


Snow packed pretty hard on the hood.


Door access, starts right up, she purrs like a champ.


Finally cleaned off.


Now on to the driveway...seriously 5 cars and 1 bus stuck in front of my double driveway since last night. Interestingly enough me and my brother helped push/dig out about 12 cars last night. Amazing how people think giving the car as much gas as possible gets them through the snow. The one idiot on the left blew his tranny on his brand new Dart... the Volvo crashed into something, and the minivan(can't even be seen it's covered so bad) blew a belt and anti freeze was spewing everywhere. At least the lady in the school bus realized she wasn't making it and got out and helped us push. All these cars are plowed in, not going anywhere now. Notice the pathetic one shovel walkway.... I still have to work today....in fact work starts in 30 minutes. Wish me luck.

I know how it feels, man.

When we had that Snowpocalypse, cars everywhere.... In the road, any road and off road. As for my driveway, sidewalk and our cars, I went outside like every hour or so to shovel and clean everything off. At the end, didn't have 30" to clean and shovel. Just 5" or so.

I wouldn't. If it could be summer all year long I'd be a happy guy. These past few weeks have been awesome.

A day you wished you had/owned a garage to store the Sc. Love the photo of your dog. I hope things in your area are getting back to their normal routine?
