MinneSNOWta

We haven't had snow storms like this since I was a kid.
Which has been a large determining factor as to why I have never invested in a snow blower. The sissy winters we've had for the last decade haven't been enough to justify the garage real estate. That property has be reserved for my motorcycles.

Two weekends in a row of getting a butt whoopin' from Old Man Winter.
My wrists, shoulders, and back will be soar for a week after all the shoveling I've had to do.
We received somewhere in the neighborhood of 30 inches of snow with the two weekend white-outs. The snow was so deep that my last round of shoveling consisted of scooping and throwing chest high. Of course, in true Minnesota fashion, the moment you clear your driveway the snow plow comes by and puts a nice three foot bank at the end of your driveway for you to shovel. D'oh!

I enjoy the illusion that I'm bending the shovel. Not planned.

The other item that goes hand-in-hand with Minnesota snow storms is the road salt.
The images on the right are the normal color of our car. The images on the left are what our car looks like after ONE commute to work and back. Yuck.

Dude, that's a great comparison of your cars. My van is the same color and it looks EXACTLY like that after one day in this stuff...
