Snowmageddon of the snowpocolypse

Everyone who is in the storm area take care of yourselves and be safe.  Matt, get your shovel ready if your going to work in your driveway tomorrow.  How aboutt some pics of their cars covered by snow.

We've been hit almost twice a week for the last 3 weeks by small storms, hardly any clear sunny days. Pretty depressing.

Woke up to another 3 inches of snow this morning, and its been misting/icing all day and getting heavier since sunset.

Here's where I'm at as of 1-18...
 

Need spring soon!

11 to 15 " in Springfield, IL, depending on where you were.  I'm tired of shoveling.  My Subaru Forester handles like a sports car (in a relative sense) in snow - but it ain't no sports car.  Snow up to the wheel wells on the Capris - I can't even hear the sounds of their motors.

Enough is enough - GIVE ME SPRING!

we got about 11-13" but it's hard to tell because we also had sustained winds of 30 mph with gusts to 45mph (almost as fast as my Capri).  Many schools and businesses are still closed today.
