Huge Northeast Blizzard of '17

-
I think the biggest thing that blew me away that I heard today is that 92 in PA was closed because of an avalanche.
 
Was at about 20" when I got home, supposed to keep going for a few more hours.
 
Here in NB we re to get this very storm reach us sometime after supper, the New England system is joining with another system so we could get snow, freezing rain and even rain so time will tell. Could be a big slushy mess.
All we got here in our area of Dieppe NB was about 4-6 inches and we were spared the high winds too. I heard of much higher totals and wind.
 
About two feet.

On a side note, just had a good Samaritan help me out.

Time to dig out. The snow is done, the wind isn't whipping as bad as yesterday. Get out the shovel and start shoveling a 100 yard long driveway so Karli can get to go to work this afternoon.

I started at the end of the driveway where the plow drift is, figuring if I can get that knocked down first, even I don't finish before she has to go she'll be able to at least get out and back in.

Shoulder is on fire from the tendonopathy, but it's gotta get done.

I look up and there's a young man with a Chevy Silverado and a plow.

"Need me to plow your driveway?"

"I'd love it, but I wouldn't be able to pay you for your time."

"That's okay, I'll do it for free and save you the time to shovel."

Once he was done, I shook his hand, thanked him profusely, and offered to do mechanic work for him, no labor charge.
